Someone else out there having the same problem? Did SuSE fumble this update? Can someone tell me how to fix this problem?
SuSE has absolutely nothing to do with the nvidia drivers...they're closed-source, so you need to holler at nvidia, because I've seen some few other posts from folks having trouble using the newest nvidia drivers too. Me...I think I'll wait and watch and see if something gets fixed or changed on nvidia's end before I update mine. I might not even do it then, since the ones I'm using now work just fine (4363 IIRR).

It's pretty simple, from what I have read in the Readme files. If you are using 2.4.20-86 or -96 now with a successful Nvidia setup, then the newer -100 kernel build will continue to work with them. You might have to reinstall your Nvidia rpms to do that, but if they work now, they will continue to work after the update. From what I gather from the security announcement, if there was a choice you could make, it should be the kernel and not the 3D on the Nvidia anyway! Bombard Nvidia with many mails and complaints, as they are the ones causing the problems with your graphics card of choice. Get them to cooperate with the open source guys and many of your Nvidia complaints will go away or just simply quit supporting them with your purchases. That usually speaks pretty loudly to them, reduced revenue incoming. Pat -- --- KMail v1.5.3 --- SuSE Linux Pro v8.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...
