Help!!

I'm having big problems with my NVidia GeForce 6200TC-Card on Suse 9.3
on a AMD64-System (2GB Memory).

A few minutes after login, the desktop looses all colour and the
background of all X-Windows changes to an erratic coloured blurr.
 It even happens under the screensaver - and: No, my 3D-acceleration
is disabled.

Sometimes it is possible to free windows by shifting another one over
the desktop, but even then the colours creep up to fill the visible 
gap. The only way to get a fresh X is to restart the X-Server (login).

As I'm running a nv-linux.o-1.0-7167 driver, I've tried to download the
newest driver from NVidia, but YOU fails to work. By direct downloading
the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8174-pkg2.run I got 4 different
package-sizes in 4 trials.

As a little search on the web brought up more than 4 other people with
the same problem, it seems to be systematic with this hardware.


	Is there any known patch or work-around for this problem?
	If yes - and I very hope there is - where can I get it?

I know that there is always the last possibility of changing the
graphics card, by who tells me how to avoid the same failure?

thanks and looking forward for any help

Peter
