Just another Problem with NVIDIA GeForce MX 4000

Hi!
I've got a NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 4000 card because it's supposed to be "Linux compatible". I have SuSe 9.1 and as suggested I first installed the "Download NVIDIA(r) Graphics Driver" patch with YOU and startet sax2. But sax2 only found a "vesa compatible" card:
# sax2 -p
Chip: 0 is -> VESA Framebuffer Graphics 01:00:0 0x10de 0x0185 AGP fbdev
So I tried the 6629-Driver from from the nvidia-homepage, but to no avail. Then I replaced the 'Driver "vesa"' line in /etc/X11/XF86Config with 'Driver "nvidia"' but then kdm and even sax2 came up any more (the system hangs with a black screen, even Ctrl+Alt+Bksp don't work. But when I try Ctrl+Alt+Del a messed up NVIDIA splash screen appears after some time and then the system reboots). I needed to use 'sax2 -l' to be able to start sax2 again.
I read the other posts in this list concerning the MX 4000 problems and tried the 6111-driver as Barrie Hill suggested. I even recompiled the Kernel without the RivaFB-module but to no avail. Now I'm running it as a "Vesa-compatible card", wich makes no sense.
Maybe someone has still an idea? Help would be highly appreciated.
Sincerely
David
