Your x server isn't configured correctly.

The Linux XFree86 HOWTO (http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/XFree86-HOWTO/)
Common x configuring tools:
Redhat - setup utility leads to several config tools
Debian - dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
You may have these tools:
XF86Setup
XFree86 -configure
Xconfigurator
xf86cfg
xf86config
xconf

Are you sure.I mean yesterday(I've been using it for 2 days)It worked fine.
But I accidently turned off the pc with the suse install disk in it.

The next time I turned it on,this maddness happened. I dont think That I changed anything manually for it to bug up. I read in a mag that I could go back by pressing ctrl alt and f8 but I just get a total black screen with the white cursor blinking

Wait...I found this xf86 program but as I open it it just asks questions about my sceen and about other setup stuff wich is correctly configured allready.
I did find this message as I looked at window maker: (it tried to give me the path to make changes to the windowmaker prog )

/usr/x11r6/bin/wmaker fatal error: could not open display
and also : suse wm:error:wmaker:no name defined

Can Anyone help me please?

You should have several different x configuring tools, but I don't use SuSE.

Have you checked the SuSE support page (http://www.suse.com/us/private/support/index.html)?

My runlevel is 5, I think it should be 2. When i go to /etc/init.d I see files called rc0.d rc1.d etc. If I change those files,Is everything O.K then? And how do I change it (from runlevel 5 to 2)?

I think it is really an error and I found a file called /etc/X11/XF86Config.YaST2save that was made round the time when the problem occured.What should I do whith this file?

You change the runlevel in /etc/inittab.

# Default runlevel.
id:5:initdefault:

The NHF on Booting into GUI explains it in a bit more detail.
