Many of the cards would POST, .. but none could be initialized with X.

I have little expectation it would work, .. but it might be worth a quick try.

The xorg docs seem to imply that configs can be in either format, ... 
my idea was to, hopefully, run startx with the different cards to 
create config files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ so they would be simpler 
to manage than pawing througn /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Can you download an OpenSuSE 11.4 live DVD? Might be interesting to 
try a different distro.
