    which Graphics Card do you have? did you try "vesa" driver?
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    check this tutorial to install driver for ATI card.
    what do u mean "vesa" drivers?
    "vesa" is a generic driver and works fine with all graphics cards but it doesn't support 3D effects. boot up in command line mode ( select SuSe title in GRUB Menu, press 3 and press Enter key ). log in as regular user and execute this
    Code:
    su
sax2 -m 0=vesa
exit
    its zero=vesa. execute 'startx' to check GUI.

    i suggest you to install ATI driver for better Graphics performance.
