3ware raid card installation takes away suse's ability to load x windows



Hello,

I comfortably installed Suse 10.1 on Intel S5000VSA motherboard with
the onboard ATI
ES1000 video chip.
http://www.intel.com/design/servers/boards/s5000VSA/index.htm

I used an Intel Xeon dual-core processor, a Kingston memory module and
a SATA Drive.
All worked well until it was time to add a 3ware raid card
(9590SE-12ML) to a PCI-e slot.
http://www.3ware.com/products/serial_ata2-9590.asp

With the 3ware card in the slot, Suse cannot load XWIndows and reverts
to CLI-only mode.
If I take the card out and reboot, XWindows loads comfortably again.

Would anyone have any thoughts on this problem?
Any alternative video cards I could use instead of the onboard video?

Thanks in advance for your input!

A Qwerty

.
