Any way to change video card drivers in text mode with Suse 9.3?

[Bupkus]

I installed suse 9.3 and did the updates, sans the kernel update, and 
booting gives me a blank, black screen.

I booted into failsafe (text) mode and there it is.

I'm thinking that suse just doesn't like my PNY MX440SE video card, so I 
swapped it out for my Matrox G550.
Yep,
linux login: _  blink, blink, blink... and I don't know what to do.
