https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=334138 Summary: Nvidia driver ruins graphical configuration Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: X11 3rd Party Driver AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: benjamin.j.mccann@gmail.com QAContact: sndirsch@novell.com Found By: Customer I installed two nvidia driver packages: * nvidia-gfx-G01-kmp-default * x11-video-nvidiaG01 I then ran "modprobe nvidia" and hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to restart the X.org server. Doing so made the text on my system so large that it is now unusable. -- 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.

I ran "X -verbose 9 -logverbose 9 :1" while already logged into my KDE session and it brought up a black and white screen with a cursor shaped like an X. I then hit Ctrl-Alt-BS
Great. So now you have the /var/log/Xorg.1.log I requested. Please attach it.
and the screen went blank.
Should not happen. Driver bug.
There's something seriously wrong because I had to try booting up three times before the system successfully started without the screen going blank. Should I remove the packages I have and instead install x11-video-nvidia and nvidia-gfx-kmp-default? I have a GeForce 7300 GS.
No. Obviously the driver does not work reliably for you. Better uninstall the packages * nvidia-gfx-G01-kmp-default * x11-video-nvidiaG01 Doing this the configuration will switch to nv driver again. -- 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.

So now you have the /var/log/Xorg.1.log I requested. For some reason I was thinking this file would be affected by my reboot, which I guess it wouldn't be. In any case, I'll offer the disclaimer that I have rebooted about 15 times between running the command and grabbing the log file.

However, I'm still willing to install the latest driver and provide anything >which may be useful in debugging the issue. Actually, you already did this. 100.14.19, which is available for openSUSE 10.3 as RPM is the current version.
I think I'd like to avoid that since my understanding is that I'd have to recompile the driver after each kernel update. Not really. There is some magic, which makes sure that the kernel module still loads as long as the update kernel is kABI compatible.

Actually, you already did this. 100.14.19, which is available for openSUSE 10.3 as RPM is the current version. I didn't know if there was anything else you wanted to help debug the driver issue as opposed to the log I gave you for the separate EDID issue.

There is some magic, which makes sure that the kernel module still loads as long as the update kernel is kABI compatible. Alright. That does sound a bit better than I'd imagined, although I'm still not going to bother installing an older version unless it will be helpful in providing you debug info. If it would be helpful, which of the version from the NVIDIA page (http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html) should I use and what info would you want? Would it be the AMD64 version? I have an Intel Pentium D processor and have installed the x86-64 version of openSUSE.
