[ale] yast2/sax2 resolution limitations?

[Dow Hurst]

I think the idea is that you would have hwscan enabled on boot of SUSE.  
Then the new hardware should be sensed and Sax2 should be autostarted.  
I shut all that down as it was not remembering the monitors between 
reboots and forcing me to deal with Sax2 on every boot.  If the hardware 
works then Linux is great, if the hardware isn't recognized then 
operations get difficult. ;-)

So, is /etc/init.d/hwscan enabled for you?
