Ok follow these steps.
Update through Yast to the latest everything (including kernel).... Don't run the yast nvidia driver... It does not work with the latest kernel update aswell as it should.
Once finished.
Goto minion.de
Either grab just this: http://www.sh.nu/download/nvidia/linux-2.6/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-5332-pkg0...
I eventually got this working, after much experimentation with acpi=off noapic acpi=off noapic pci=noacpi pci=biosirq Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP" in the X config plus some tinkering with font paths I *think* the real problem was a faulty XF86Config file where some of the font paths didn't point to actual fonts (thanks YAST2, or whatever set these up) - the last message in the log said it could not init certain paths. The nvidia driver seems less tolerant than the nv driver- but not being an expert I may be wrong about this. However, although it appeared to work, the system was so unstable (crashed when using simple functions on apps via button clicks) that it doesn't seem worth using on my machine, so I've reverted to "nv". I can't tell whether the solution lies with nvidia, vendors of other hardware I have, suse, or me - but I don't have the knowledge to take it further. - Richard -- Richard Kimber http://www.psr.keele.ac.uk/
