Compaq E500 Suse 9.0 Xfree Problem


Please can someone help I am installing Suse 9 via the web onto a Compaq E500 notebook, everything has installed fine apart from the graphics card setup. The system reports to have found am Ati 3D Rage P/M Mobility AGP2x card along with VESA 800x600 monitor at 60hz, this however does not work and when i test the config the screen appears to 'fill' out to a white background and then put some colured lines down the middle. If I set the Colour and Resolution to 640x480 at 15 bit colour the desktop will appear but anything higher and zip!
Please if any one could point me in the right direction it would be very much appreciated

Jason

P.S I am still in the install phase and just testing the graphics at the moment.
