SuSE 9.0 pro
YOU updated kernal to 2.4.21-243-default
YOU updated nvidia 0x0347
nvidia site says use nvidia 0x0348 for FX GO5700 (1680x1050) there is 0x0348 in sax2, but it wants a manual setup for the monitor
after the YOU updates, can't get into X with anything displayed properly, so this driver is wrong.
tried the latest nvidia driver from root, but I need the kernal sources.
can't find the latest kernal source on the suse ftp site, but there is so much stuff there I'm probably looking in the wrong place.
HELP!!!!!!
