I've never really tried Suse, but the following works a treat in Debian and should work with any distro.
Get hold of Knoppix (www.knopper.net or ask here if someone going to the meeting can provide a copy). Knoppix usually does a good job of detecting hardware settings and setting up a working graphics system. Once you boot knoppix take a copy of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file it produces. Place this file into /etc/X11 (assuming Suse uses Xorg, rename the file as XF86Config-4 if Suse is using XFree86) on Suse and restart your display manager (probably kdm on Suse - /etc/init.d/kdm restart).
