I actually did run in it in a normal root session, so it must have
been runlevel 5. However, when I tried it with runlevel 3 now, the
XFine2 window where you can change the size and position of the screen
had its buttons inactive (greyed out), and it says "No video mode
tuning available". So I couldn't do anything. Do I have to start it
with some option?

I always use the little utility that comes with the proprietary nvidia
drivers ,works fine for me on both my laptop and this desktop .

The desktop graphics card is a Ge-force GT 240 not sure what is in the
laptop it is a Lenovo 3000 n200 .

You do need to run as root else you cant save changes.

I am using suse 11.2 x64 on both boxen.

I know, that's what I had done.

Yes, that looks much better now; turns out that the guy who had
installed the box hadn't installed the NVIDIA drivers.
Thanks a lot,
