There is no more link in Yast for the old SAX2. KDE's control center has display resolution settings which apparently replace SAX2. I started SAX2 from command line myself. > No network connections, neither via USB-DSL nor > WLAN, only after I plugged in a network cable (across my room) I could > use the Internet.

I don't have multi-monitor or even WLAN and Suse has worked for me, but I must believe it has problems with hardware more than some other distros do. Pity! When it works it is the best KDE-based distro, and now it is also optimized better than before (speed and memory).
