    The Specs on this monitor says I should have one. It looks like 2 video
    cards are installed (if I read correctly), perhaps you could try it with
    just one if there are two. You've not made it clear if the 9.0 is also
    the live eval, if it is I'd recommend trying
    KNOPPIX_V3.3-2003-11-03-EN.iso from
    http://www.knopper.net/knoppix-mirrors/index-en.html instead as it may
    be more uptodate on the hardware side that the SuSE eval, though I've
    never tried the Eval. I always carry a knoppix CD in case my Windows
    using colleagues ever have disk problems so I can boot it and backup
    their files to a NT server before they reinstall.
    Regards
    Sid.
