I am working on a problem similar to yours. (See [opensuse] Can't set
resolution after NVIDIA graphics card installation.)
I have searched for several hours, and found a number of occurrences of
the same problem since June of 2007, but no solutions that work.
I tried as root:
nvidia-xconfig
nvidia-settings
and I tried to configure from Yast>hardware>graphics card and monitor.
All I have found is that sax makes the decision and doesn't allow me to
change it, even though it is wrong.
It seems there should be some way to manually change the xorg.config
file, but I can't find it. If I understand your post correctly, you were
either unable to edit the file or the edit was ignored. Is this correct?
The same solution should work for both of us even though we are using
different graphics cards.
