Display problems in SUSE 10


I just installed SUSE 10 along with Fedora 4 on my system.(Its a triple boot now along with windoze!!).I have retained the Fedora bootloader i.e. the one installed in the fedora partition.My SUSE boots fine and starts KDE too....the problem is that when i scroll in the various windows the scrolling is not smooth.It works perfectly in Fedora 4 though. My graphics card is S3 ProSavage DDR onboard with a LG Studioworks 500e monitor, I have 256 MB RAM and P4 1.8GHZ CPU...
Please help....If this problem is solved I wanna leave Fedora as SUSE is better in all respects!!

I have seen many possible fixes for that on these forums. They range from updating your kernel, to getting 3d acceleration working on your graphics card. So, what have you tried thus far, and what is/isn't working on your system thus far?

FWIW,

I have seen this exact problem with our HP laptops here at work. You have to manually select the resolution and monitor settings during the install to give yourself a more robust video settings range. Also, you can edit the xorg.conf file. I researched this issue via google pertaining to our intel video chips in these systems and found that a lot of people running 9.2 and 9.3 had this issue. I am by no means a linux expert, but I think researching how to modify the xorg.conf file may help you out. It did for me until I changed over to suse 10. Then I just selected my settings during the OS install.
