It has worked fine with Suse versions prior to 11.4, so it's not likely a hardware issue. Also, according to the bugzilla reports, it's a common problem with more than just nVidia.

A neighbor with old Compaq and W2K was having video trouble, so I took out her nVidia card (TNT and/or Vanta IIRC), and either put in another old video card or used the onboard Intel, I don't remember which, but in any event solved her problem.
Lots of AGP & PCI video cards cheap on eBay. I'm sure something newer than yours, GeForce or Radeon, would be a reasonable solution, and a better performer. Maybe even a local puter shop has a junk box full that you could pick through for $10 or less.
