xmach64 sounds like a graphics thingie to me.  Did you search your CDs
for the package?
Also check the support database (sdb.suse.de/en/) i think.  not positive
on the addy. i can look it up if you need me to.  just make sure you 
look at the 6.2 relevant articles.
also.. if you think of updating... 7.3 comes out soon with much improved
manuals.

if your monitor is new, you might need to pick one of the vesa modes. 
6.2 might not have the right drivers for a new monitor.

same as above.. check the support database. it has a lot of
suse-specific articles about install problems. :-)
