Many thanks for your suggestions.

I've just read up about VESA framebuffers and LILO.
In my lilo.conf I've got "vga=791" which according to SuSE's
sdb is for a framebuffer with 1204x768 16bit resolution.
As my graphics card has now been recognised and set up
properly should this be changed to "vga=normal"?
