    Starting about SuSE 8.0, the developers lost some nice fvwm desktop
    stuff. Mostly it was typos in the config, but also some missing graphics
    files. I just did a 7.2 install to get all the graphics, then ran
    through to 8.2. YAST still does nicely, and everything runs well.

    On the 8.2 upgrade SAX didn't believe the monitor numbers I in
    XF86Config for an older 20" Mitsubishi RGB cad monitor as the second
    screen. Calling SAX from YAST allowed the correction while in X. All
    that is fine now.
