Also your xorg log file, and maybe /var/log/warn. For example, I found out after google earth was killing X that I no longer had 3D enabled after upgrading from 10.2. I tried sax2 (via Yast, Hardware, Graphics card) and my screen would lose sync when 3D was enabled. I noticed in the log that agpgart was going into 8x. I know in 10.2 it only worked with 4x, so I changed the AGP Mode to 4, and that fixed 3D and allowed my machine to once again work with 3D (and google earth no longer crashed X). HTH.
