I am using the nouveau driver along with the Mesa-nouveau3d for 3d support. After a reboot, everything worked fine. Although a little slow with the nouveau driver, I found no major problems. A day later, I was notified by the system of updates. I performed the updates which included an updated kernel. After a reboot, I logged into gnome 3 and found the complete screen is garbage and completely unusable. Gnome 3 did not detect a problem and revert to fallback mode. I then installed the nvidia driver using these instructions: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers I rebooted, logged into gnome 3, and still found that all the graphics were garbage. I logged into iceWM and verified the correct setup of the nvidia drivers and 3D support. I don't know what changed in that minor update that caused gnome 3 to stop working. My only work around has been to uninstall the nvidia drivers, revert back to nouveau, and uninstall the Mesa-nouveau3d. Without 3D support, gnome detects and goes into the safe fallback mode correctly. While I can now log in, unfortunately, I lose all the benefits of having gnome 3 installed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
