openSUSE 11.4 with nvidia gforce 6600 GT and crt monitor which needs at least 85 Hz, not 50 or 60 Hz
After running nvidia-xconfig (manual or by yast2) the systen will not boot in GUI.
sax2 isn’t available any more, so I don’t know how to configure my xorg.conf.
Where I may found the error log file from xorg, which folder?
This was my xorg.conf before the attempt to install nvidia drivers:

The easy way to get NVIDIA - “When installation is complete reboot.” - and you will have a problem!
This is the xorg.conf after! The system isn’t booting into the GUI. I’m left alone at the DOS Prompt.

For comparison purposes: This was the xorg.conf from the previous installation, openSUSE 11.2, well running:

nvidia-xconfig was launched by yast2, but if I start it manually at the DOS Prompt, the result is always the same.
nvidia-xconfig kills the whole system, and sax2 ist simply “dropped”. How can I configure my machine for running 1024 x 768 at 87 Hz? The hardware is the same, except the mouse. I had to buy a new one, beause the old doesn’t work since openSUSE 11.3 It’s now a Logitech RX 250.
May anyone write an xorg.conf that will work?
