LinuxQuestions.org - MSI 6600GT Not Detected, SuSE 9.2 x86

Newb to Linux here. Computer specs are:

Athlon 64 2800+
DFI Lanparty NF3
MSI NV6600GT AGP

SuSE 9.2, Mandrake 10.1, and Knoppix don't recognise my video card. I've done a clean format a few times, trying different distros, none of which found it. I'm back on SuSE 9.2 64bit now and want to work it out. Therefore I think drivers are a nonissue since I can't get SuSE to find the card.

The error in Knoppix Live CD during boot was:

Any ideas? I couldn't find any similar threads, as most people have problems installing the drivers, not having the card detected. The card is properly installed (I built it myself), and is properly recognised and working in XP.
