Sax causes black screen

I just upgraded from suse 9.0 to 9.2 via ftp. I am trying to set up my monitor and graphics card ( hp mx70 and gforce mx440 pci ) I load sax2 and get a black screen that requires a reboot to elininate. It all worked fine in 9.0 so I know its not hardware. I do this in run level 3 and even tried run level 5 just for kicks. Any ideas as to what is causing this. I jave not tried the nvidia driver yet since sax wont load the monitor or card. Jim
