I forget - have you tried forcing the configuration to a higher resolution?
Or is that the problem, just not knowing where to make those changes?

It means that you'll need to compile it, but I'd be pretty surprised if
SuSe didn't include one on the cd. If you chose a non-laptop install,
they probably didn't bother including the module. Most people don't power
their linux boxen off anyway. :)
If you need to compile it, follow these instructions:
become root
"cd /usr/src/linux"
"make menuconfig"
Go to General Setup and choose APM support as a module by pressing 'm'.
exit, exit, save changes
"make modules"
"make modules_install"
"modprobe apm"
To get the module loaded at boot, you'll have to do something extra,
although I'm not sure what for a suse-style system.
