Okay I guess that I was wrong. I just rebooted into Linux and was
greeted by a text login again. After logging in I was unable to get
startx to run. I had to use the information from my last email to
correct xorg.conf and get a window environment again. The cp /etc...
I have pasted, below, my xorg.conf as it is now, since I am unsure what
I should correct. when I enter Yast2/Sax2 it does show that 3D is
accepted now and when I try to test my display I am greeted by an Nvidia
splash screen, just before it crashes the test and kicks me out. I do
have the "Xorg.99.log" file that is created by Sax2 if that, or part of
it, would help.
Thanks again for all your help,
James Ruhsam

Ok lets recap, you have adjusted your xorg and now your monitor works?
If so let's get 3d working. Add the nvidia repository to yast:
yast2 -> Software -> Community Repositories
and install the nvidia-gfxG01 driver for your kernel. Manually adjust
xorg.conf (nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf) again to change the video driver
>from vesa to nvidia.And reboot (may be necessary to load the nvidia
module) or restart X.

I have an Insignia, BestBuy red headed step child, monitor. I found the
information for the monitor and tried to input it in, but Sax2/Yast2 do
not like the information and dies during the video test, with

Yast2 when it failed to run its test, if that would assist in correcting
this problem and the next part of my problem.
Try manually adjusting you xorg.conf:
# nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Look for this section and adjust it for your monitors config:
Section "Monitor"
Option "CalcAlgorithm" "XServerPool"
DisplaySize 360 270
HorizSync 30-92
Identifier "Monitor[0]"
ModelName "PHILIPS 109S4"
Option "DPMS"
VendorName "PHL"
VertRefresh 43-160
UseModes "Modes[0]"
EndSection
Also look for this section and change Driver to "vesa"
Section "Device"
BoardName "GeForce 7800 GS AGP"
BusID "1:0:0"
Driver "nvidia"
Identifier "Device[0]"
VendorName "NVidia"
EndSection
When your montior works we look into your gfx card.
I also have no 3D for my Nvidia 8600 GT card even though I have
installed the drivers found from the OpenSuSE site, the "nvidia.ymp,
found at http://en.opensuse.org/Nvidia.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Okay, did that. Tried the test in Yast2/Sax2 and it still dies, but as
long as I have a windowed environment I feel okay, ;-) Until I can get
it all working correctly then I will feel awesome. One step at a time.
