    Which version of OpenSUSE are you using? Post the contents of xorg.conf file here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    sax2 and the xorg.conf stuff is being phased out. Why are you running sax2?

    See if following this suggestion helps

    # Driver "kbd" will be disabled unless 'Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"'
    # is set in "ServerFlags" section.

    Also try creating the xorg.conf from the nvidia-config program. Should be in the system-configuration menu.

    Also don't know about this line

    Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"


    Did you do an upgrade?? This may be a hold over from previous versions.
    Try renaming xorg.conf and then run sax2.

    This is the NVIDIA command it must be run as root to make the xorg.conf

    nvidia-settings as su
