I was attempting to *install* 9.2 -- I left the wrong impression that I was 
"updating". But I could not get past the video problems in YaST. The advice I 
got (btw thanks) applied only if I was truly updating. Any help for getting 
past the video trouble on an install would be greatly appreciated.
