Hi,
Many monitors appear to be in power-save mode when in fact they have shut=
 down
because they can't display a particular mode.  Instead of pressing =
ctrl-alt-del
try switching the monitor off for a minute or so, and then see if the =
display
comes back when you switch it on again.

Are you using the exact same version of XFree86 under SuSE?

Oh, and please use shorter lines ;)

John.
