Please try running something like glxgears or even Frozen Bubble to see if it's an issue with your video drivers or settings.
If you want to avoid having to put in a CD all the time, you should add an installation source in Yast for the SuSE RPMs. The base site is ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.3/ however there are many mirrors, and my experience is that they are faster than the main server.
Look here http://www.novell.com/products/linuxprofessional/downloads/ftp/int_mirrors.html for mirrors.
