    I just installed a new Samsung 213T TFT monitor. I have three SuSE 9.1
    Pro systems and a single Windows XP Pro system that share the monitor
    through a Belkin KVM switch.

    Anyway, all of the systems except for one SuSE system recognized the new
    display fine, letting me feed the new monitor profile CD in and they all
    look great.

    But this one SuSE Pro system (its got an old 3DFX card) insisted the new
    display was an older model fo Samsung. After dozens of trys, I finally
    tweaked the XF86Config enought to get it to start up graphically. Then
    sax2 was able to complete the configuration correctly.

    The big BUT is that I can no longer login graphically. I boot up to the
    text login prompt. Once I login - either as root or another user - I can
    run "startx" and the desktop starts.

    I have been through every single option in Yast that I can imagine might
    have a bearing on this (Login Manager, etc.). Still no luck.

    Someone pleeeasse tell me what I screwed up and how to fix it.

    Thanks in advance - Richard
