This is one of my pet peeves with SUSE. I am running 8.2, and any time I 
have changed either monitors, added an additional mouse, or changed it, 
etc, after the initial install, had nothing but problems. In RH, Kudzo most 
of the time picked up the changes automatically. If not, a simple config 
and it was done.  Not so, in my experience, with SUSE, using SAX2 (sucks2), 
changes seem to have been made, but it never works properly, and when you 
go in there again, it changed on me.. In fact, I just spent about 4 hours 
trying to get an additional mouse to work, every time I started up Sucks2, 
it would redefine my monitor incorrectly, which froze the mouse to change 
it, etc. Then try adding the mouse, crazy... amateur status in this yet... 
I got so fed up, the only way to get it right, was the old fashioned way, 
do it by hand.  This caca has happened all the way back to v6.4 with me... 
I have had it.
