  I am still wrestling with SuSE 8.0 on a Dell Optiplex GX240 (nVidia 
GeForce2 GTS AGP card and Dell E771p monitor).  I boot into runlevel 3 by 
default.  The "nv" driver seems to be mostly working now, but I get 
inconsistent results when I kill it with cntl-alt-backspace.  Sometimes this 
works (I still have to hit cntl-C to get my prompt back), but it often locks 
up with only the wallpaper left on the screen, and I keep having to cycle the 
power.  I thought I had fixed this by making the console the display manager 
in yast, but apparently not.  Any ideas?

  And can anyone tell me where to find documentation about "apic" and "apci"?
