bloody hell.. who would want to use opensuse or kubuntu.. both garbage.
graphics driver? .. the majors both release drivers (ati-nvidia) or the generic vesa driver will run 99% of everything in some form or other..
you are still stuck in windoze world with the belief that ONLY a specific manufacturer made driver will run your hardware.. NOT TRUE.. I bet kubuntu would work and the debian version (or the manufacturers generic *nix) driver for whatever card it is would install and work just fine.
debian.fedora,slackware.mandriva .. take your pick.. all mainstream big distros with a huge userbase.
Thanks, will try that, could you possible just answer one more question for me, I just burned another PC LinuxCD and run a media check on it, it came up as passed and said this media is ok to install, then in a little box "OK". I tried Esc to exit but it just did nothing.
I thought the prompt was saying test complete, OK was to exit the test and I pressed enter, it then seemed to start installing to my hard drive with no warnings, I immediatly pressed the open button on the dvd drive which seemed to stop it, would it have installed with out any further prompting or warnings or would it have just gone back to the main boot screen, thanks.

I tried using vesa at the boot screen and all other methods including text, which would not load run level 3:
Master Resource Control: runlevel 3 has been reached
Fail Services in runlevel 3: Postfix
Skipped Services in runlevel 3: nfs splash
That was the point, I would not be able to install any drivers or even change them as the desktop was unusable so I had to find a way at boot to correct the microscopic font problem.
There is nothing on the desktop that could be used or configured as there was no text that could be read, it was microscopic, I've been on the Opensuse and Kubuntu forums but nobody could help as yet, no worries, there's still Ubuntu and PC Linux that are working ok, just trying different distro's.
More worried at the moment with what PC Linux was doing after the media check, still learning but that was a bit scary and kinda bad, giving no warning or prompts before trying to install it's self.
