On my office machine with Intel graphics, it's been pretty reliable
except I had to add "nomodeset" on the grub boot line to get it to
wake up after going to sleep.

At home I have a older laptop with a Nvidia GeForce 440 Go graphics
adapter.  Even with "nomodeset" it keeps doing weird things on the
GUI.

fyi: AIUI, nomodeset causes the older more stable graphics drivers to
be used, not the new KMS system.

I haven't tried the proprietary nvidia driver yet.  I was really
hoping to stay GPL like I've done in the past on that laptop, but it's
not looking good for that at the moment.  And I don't think the
openSUSE nvidia repos for 11.3 are up just yet.  (If they are, can
some post the url?)

fyi: I've got an open bug, but I can't get the weird issues to repeat,
so I haven't updated it.  They just bounce around from one part of X
to another.
