Hello
Yesterday, I installed the latest drivers from nvidia (1251), got the SuSE RPM's of their site, and an hour or 2 later, I was up and running...
Also using 1251 version
But when I log into X, log out, and try to go to a text console, by screen goes either blank of gets strange colors on it. I can't do anything but go back to X and reboot.
When I switch from X to VC1 (CTL-ALT-F1) my screen is also either black or has garbled white areas. Here is what I do. When I frist boot I login to VC1 and run /usr/bin/savetextmode. I do not logout. Whenever I switch to VC1 and it is messed up I run /usr/bin/textmode. This seems to solve the console problem for me. One problem I have not been able to solve yet (don't know it it nVidia or kdm) is X locking and loosing the mouse and keyboard. This has happened three time in the last couple of months since I installed the nVidia card and driver. In this case I had to hit the reset button. Anyway, hope the savetextmode and textmode commands solve part of your problem. Terry
