Recently moved to a new P-4 machine with a nVidia Geforce3 Ti-200
graphics card. Decided to just do a backup of my /home directory and
do a new install of  7.3 on a larger hard drive. After the new install
updated with Sax online,  installed the nVidia and other files needed
from Suse update.

The problems are if I change anything in the Sax2 config test screen
my mouse is lost, have no mouse pointer at all. Started another
install from scratch left things the way they were, lived with the
monitor slightly off center. Open some programs lose resolution to
some ugly mess. Obviously I'm way of course here and how to install
this card. Question, are the Suse updates for Nvidia the same ones
that are on the MSI/nVidia site.  Do I need files from each site or
are they the same? Does Xfree86 in suse 7.3 work with this card? I
have nothing installed right now on the linux drive. Going to try
again, was looking for the procedure to follow to get graphics card
working in 7.3. Funny during the main install of Suse 7.3 the screen
is full width looks great no mouse problems, get by the install and
things go down hill. 

Thanks..............John
