I've been kinda' following your 'adventures' with Suse and I'd would like to
ask if you can clarify a couple things.

You were able to install and have a functioning GUI display with vid card
"A" and monitor "A".

At some point you switched to monitor "B" and lost your display.
At some other point your switched to vid card "B" and also lost your
display.

During the course of one of these failures you ran a config tool and lost
the ability to go back to monitor "A" & vid card "A".

Do I understand correctly?
