Ok, taking Derek's advice, I've decided to move my system up to the
barnd-spank'n newest version of XF86. Howevr, before I make the move,
one question:

Whne I installed SUSE on this system, I had to configure the
/etc/X11/XF86Config file by hand so that it would handle a 1400x1050
setting without burning a hole in my LCD. When I upgrade, will I have to
reconfigure the file by hand agaion, or will my configuration files stay
pretty much put?

Thnaks.

P.S.
This is what I specifically had to add by hand:
  <snip>
  Modeline "1280x960" 111.82 1280 1296 1552 1736 960 960 970 1003
