Thanks. Running sax2 -r seemed to fix the problem that was occurring (choppy video display). Matthias Hopf wrote:

In YaST, under graphics card it says "nVidia VGA compatible controller" The number on the card itself says P283. I am trying to make the "nv" driver work - instead of the "fbdev" driver that is currently loaded.
Which one? 6200 or higher? That won't be supported by the nv driver of 9.2.
If you want to stick to this old distribution, try downloading the nvidia proprietary driver. You will need the kernel sources of the kernel you're running to install it.
After running X -configure, in the xorg.conf.new file, the correct driver "nv" is loaded
Don't use X -configure. sax2 does a much better job for that (use 'sax2 -r' in order to ignore your old configuration).
