Not good.  The first time I had screen lock when I pushed the "test" button.  
After that, I got through "test" and had screen lock when I pushed "save."   
What actually works, temporarily, was to copy xorg.conf.install over 
xorg.conf.  I'm not totally sure about the resolution; I doubt its as high as 
the card should go.  All my attempts to get into sax2 from gui yast, console 
yast, and by typing sax2 dump me back into 640X320 without the entry screen 
that shows resolution and 3d status.

It's been a while since I dove into one of these (back then, XF86) files, but 
I'm going to start adding things to the install file from my last sax 
generated file and see what breaks it.
