The problem first occurred while screensaver was on. I don't know which one 
because I use the random one.

Not any more

I'll check later, thanks. First look and every necessary link seems to be 
there.

Update on the FX5200 problem:
Problem seems to be solved. No more lock-ups yet and Yast--> hardware --> 
hardware info works again. What did I do? 

- did the test starting X server manually several times --> no problem.
- fiddling around in sax2 with monitor settings (tried to change ratio from 
4/5 to 3/4 and back) (got a 17" with 1280*1024)
- started NVIDIA X server settings several times but did not write to 
Xorg.conf

I think sax2 got the right configuration in the end

BTW I installed the NVidia driver with Yast at first update (just added the 
repository in the installation process ). During this update there was also a 
kernel security update.

Thanks again,
Sander
