I think that there are a couple opf issues.
First, you should be able to install non-graphically using the non-
graphical installation tools. In SuSE, that is YaST1. Do your install, but 
do not configure X. Then go to the SuSE update site and try upgrading 
some from there. There are several updates for x components. 
You can actually do this directly from YaST.
Additionally, if you purchased SuSE 7.0 as a boxed set, you should be 
able to get some support. 



Additionally, I understand that Xfree86 4 is lacking some drivers.
