You may need to check www.xfree86 to see if your card is supported. Also
check www.suse.com since they make quite a few xfree drivers for newer
video cards. If by chance your video card is not supported there are a
number of companies that produce accelerated graphics drivers for X
windows.

Or you can run xf86config which I kinda like.
