99% of the time(?) it is *not* a hardware problem. I got the same results on 
Nvidia, Matrox and ATI cards. Why should the *default* be set in such a way 
that the common cards can't handle the resolution?

I am sure this will be changed on Suse 8.3+ or even in the next upgrade.
(Other video games worked but had default settings higher than 640x480)
