    This is my final stab at getting an answer. I've asked the question
    before more than once, and I've tried everything I can think of, but no
    matter what I do, at some point, my display will freeze unrecoverably,
    either in the screensaver, the blanked screen, or while I am just doing
    something in Adobe Acrobat or Mozilla with the mouse. I have an nVidia
    video card and I have tried it with and without the nVidia drivers,
    using ust the nv driver, with 3D on and off, with greater and lesser
    color depths (which used to work in my last distro), changing the
    resolutions, etc., but at some point the screen will still freeze
    requiring a hard reboot. Not a problem with the card, because it works
    fine in Windows 2000 Server, and I could adjust things, as I said, in
    Libranet or Mandrake so it didn't happen, by reducing the color depth
    to 16,000 colors, which was adequate for my purposes. But can't seem
    to get Suse to work with my card, or I don't know the magic words. It
    is a Geforce2 MX400. The rest of the system is a Celeron 2.4, 512 MB
    RAM, 60g HD, CDRW, CDR, Proxim wireless PCI card.

    O/W I will just use W2000 Server, which works and doesn't freeze or
    break, even though it is Bill.

    Thanks,
    Don J.
