Went smoothly.
It is possible to choose LCD dimensions (1280x768) and screen resolution (1280x768) during installation. You can also set the screen size (monitor dimensions). The screen driver (XOrg 6.8.2) then works well with /etc/X11/xorg.conf which is created. Perhaps this could have been done during the SuSE 9.1 installation as well, but I just did not notice...
