[11-18-11 22:31]: I keep running into the problem on my machines that it doesn't want to run because nouveau is still loaded even though X is down. I wind up just booting in with x11failsafe. Then its peachy.
I tried the usual log out, and back into console mode. Tried init 3, but still nouveau is loaded.
better explanation needed to understand.
did you install the ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-280.13.run binary (or some version of) ??
how did you install it?
if you dropped to runlevel 3, installed the NVidia binary and returned to runlevel 5, the nouveau driver will not be loaded if the install was successful.
The 12.1 repo was added last night at ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/ so using YaST to add the repo and installing using YaST or zypper will install the driver. Then reboot and the driver should be used.
