Hi you might have sorted your video out by now, but if you haven't,
get kernel sources and gcc 4.2 installed and go
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us and get their
linux driver run package. They have instructions as well.

Thanks, Dave.

I have found the solution. The opensuse died again a few times. I
decided to go ahead and instal Vista (Business) on the laptop.

I have openSUSE running in a VM session.

Since the laptop only came with an 80GB hard drive, I went ahead and
ordered myself a new 200GB hard drive.

Vista will stay on the 80 GB hard drive and be encrypted.

I'll swap in the 200GB hard drive in a week or so when it arrives and
put openSUSE on there.

I'll keep y'all informed. :)
