Hi Mike,
what version of XF86 do you have installed?  (try this command to see what
you have installed)

I have XFree86 3.3.4.  I finally STARTX to work, but I didn't have my monitor
configured correctly.  It is capable of hi res so I tried to change the
settings.
When I ran YaST again, it corrupted whatever file it created.  Now, STARTX
doesn't work again.  If I could find out where/what directory this file is
stored in,
can I delete it and start again?

Michael

I had the same problems with Suse and Yast. I finally used xf86config (with version 4.2.0).
That fixed it. Just stay away from the XSetup of Yast afterwards or it will screw it up
again.
