    If SaX wrote to XF86Config, yours is old. Get the current from:
      ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/SaX2/suse92
    The latest SaX puts its output directly into xorg.conf. [Note:
    SuSE 9.2 does __not__ look at XF86Config, but at xorg.conf !!!]

    p.s. The principal use I got out of fglrxconfig was documentation -
          a listing of all the options. It may be that to set up the
          environment you want, you will have to change some option
          values. [If need be, you might add them by hand to the
          xorg.conf built by SaX.] By the way, the fglrxconfig I have
          put its output into XF86Config-4. To use it, rather than the
          SaX output, I created a symlink from xorg.conf to XF86Config-4.

          The SuSE readme gives the command for using SaX with fglrx as:
            sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx -b /usr/X11R6/lib/sax/profile/firegl -i
