Graphics controller Intel 82845G

The computer on which I want to install SUSE has the graphics controller
Intel 82845G.
The computer is a Compaq Evo D510.

I tried the OpenSUSE 11.1 Live CD: the screen turns wild. I found this driver for Linux. Is that the right one?

How can I now install SUSE Linux? Will the screen turn wild during the installation?

Please read all the posts in that link.

Thank you. I am not sure though what this means for my planned installing of openSUSE on my Compaq computer. Perhaps I will just try.

opensuse 11.2 doesn’t have these issues although there are some problems with intel 2.9 driver. screen freezes sometimes.
