The nVidia GeForce 4 4200 Go-Grafik-Engine needs driver from
nvidia to work properly - please see

    http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp

The driver shipped with SuSE are not as good as possible - but
this is a license problem - my Latitude C840 is running under SuSE 8.1
and two nvidia rpms: NVIDIA_GLX-...rpm and NVIDIA_kernel-...rpm.
