Normally, I'd try to help people with computers problems, but seeing that I told you to go with Ubuntu and chose Suse instead, all you get is this:



..........HA HA!!!

Just kidding.

Boot to the command line.

Then do this (the case is important):

cd /etc/X11
sudo rename xorg.conf xorg.conf.bad

This will rename (effectively deleting) your X11 configuration file. When you reboot, Suse should put a default configuration in place.

I say "should" because this is what Ubuntu would do, but I'm not 100% certain that Suse will. But you can always put the conf file back if you need to.

Ha, thanks. It worked like a charm. I had to do the very same thing in our lab, but I couldn't remember the x11 directory.
