Re: [opensuse-factory] A modest proposal: Make nomodeset the default for distributions
On 2011/09/13 11:45 (GMT+0200) Duncan Mac-Vicar P. composed:

The nouveau problems (I also suffered from this black screens) are SUSE
specific.

This may have to do with Factory retaining the same antique 1.9.3 Xorg version that was in the 11.4 release, and dates back to synergy with 2.6.37 and older kernels. Much in kernel and DRM has evolved since 1.9.3 was current, so Nouveau trouble now using 3.0 & 3.1 kernels is no surprise to me.
