I just booted into OpenSuse and copied the xorg.conf into /etc/X11 then 
restarted X via gdm. Both screen went black and the system froze but 
before it did the TNT boot blurb displayed on the screen connected to 
the intel chipset.

I can reboot into single no problem and copy any logs or files that 
might be helpful if that would help.

Thanks
