Accelerated X stop working - Solved

SuSE's latest readme suggests that with the 6111 driver reinstalling the 
driver is no longer necessary every time the kernel is updated.  This is 
great news since I don't reboot much and when I do have an occasional 
power outage or realize that my SCSI scanner wasn't powered on at 
boot-time, I don't have the time to dork with finding the driver and 
reinstalling all the time.  Most importantly I don't feel comfortable 
leaving the people at my church responsible to figure that one out.  I 
was just about to write a script which checks at each bootup whether the 
driver is in the latest kernel.  Now I shouldn't have to.

Good luck!
