    If you were running Debian, which is what this list is for, I'd suggest
    running "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" and tinkering with the video
    settings. But since you're running Suse, I haven't a clue.

    But in response to your subject line, I can almost guarantee it is an X
    issue, and not a KDE or Gnome issue.
