Subject: [opensuse] OpenSUSE 11 and Nvidia on Dell laptop

I have a Dell Latitude D820 laptop that ran fine with OpenSuse 10.3.  I did a
fresh install of OpenSuse 11, and everything seemed to be okay.  I am not
sure why it chose to install the PAE kernel, but that's neither here nor
there, really.  I got it up and running, and added the Nvidia repository via
Yast's tool, checking the box in Community Repositories.

After installation, X won't run.  It tells me that it can't find any
displays:      
(II) Setting vga for screen 0.
(**) NVIDIA(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32
(==) NVIDIA(0): RGB weight 888
(==) NVIDIA(0): Default visual is TrueColor
(==) NVIDIA(0): Using gamma correction (1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
(**) NVIDIA(0): Enabling RENDER acceleration
(II) NVIDIA(0): Support for GLX with the Damage and Composite X extensions is
(II) NVIDIA(0):     enabled.
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device PCI:1:0:0. 
(EE) NVIDIA(0):     Please see the COMMON PROBLEMS section in the README for
(EE) NVIDIA(0):     additional information.
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device!
(II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
(II) UnloadModule: "wfb"
(II) UnloadModule: "fb"
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

Has anyone else had this issue?  Its really getting me frustrated.



Have you tried downloading and installing the driver from nvidia?
