I checked everything you said regarding the nvidia driver. Everything is as
you said it should be. Still I don't know how to set the resolution of the
screen any higher than 1280x1024 with 16-bit color. I'm wondering if I
should upgrade to SuSE 8.0 or try a different video card.
Regarding the inability to power down. I entered "modprobe apm" and the
response I got was
modprobe: Can't locate module apm
Does this mean I need to add the apm module to the kernel? How do you do
this?
