When I start sax2 and chose another resolution (in the moment 1280x1024), the resolution is not changed (not immediately and also not after reboot).
In the file SaX.log I find the error message:
26-Dec 23:40:33 <I> SCCMonitor::Bootloader setup for fbdev: 16bit 1024x768 791
26-Dec 23:40:33 <E> SCCMonitor::Bootloader update failed
Can someone help me?
Thank you
Neo

For xorg.conf, you need only post the Device, Screen, Monitor, and Modes sections.
OK, here are the informations.
I can add the information that I made a clean install of opensuse 11.1 64 bit version and the grub boot loader had a problem after the first installation. So I used the repair tool from opensuse DVD and write the boot manager into MBR.

I asked for “Modes” section (if there is one), not “Module”. 
Have you tried to install the nvidia driver? NVIDIA - openSUSE
Problem solved.
After installing the NVIDIA driver again and calling sax2 with option -r everything works fine.
Thank you.
Terrific! You’re welcome.
