So I am wondering if sometimes the NVIDIA driver kicks in, and sometimes it doesn't. But I may be wrong.
If you see the splash - its using the nvidia driver "nvidia" If you don't see the spash - its using a different driver "nv" (oss) perhaps? maybe even VESA.
On the boots where you don't see the splash, I would look through the xorg.log file 'for that instance' and it should tell you why it defaulted back to a different driver.
Thanks for your reply and suggestion.
I've checked the new Xorg0.log file, (presumably from this boot), where the screen is incorrect. There is one LoadModule: "nvidia" in there, but no "nv" or "vesa". There is an Xorg0.log.old which is probably from the previous boot. If so, that was a good one. This log also only has LoadModule: "nvidia" and neither "nv" or "vesa".
There are also Xfree86.log files which give the same results for the module.
Sorry, but with my lack of knowledge, I don't know what else to check.
Thanks

I have found that with SuSE 10.0 and the nVidia driver there is no nVidia splash screen coming up as in the past. You can tell if the nVidia driver is installed by looking in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file where you will see 'nvidia' instead of 'nv' in the section "Device" (referring to the monitor). To reset the position of the screen go to Control Centre/Hardware/Graphics Card and Monitor and configure your card/monitor. When this is done and you finish you are asked if you want to test this setup - do so and this is where you adjust the position of the screen; adjust it to the right or left. Cheers. -- Don't argue with an idiot, people may not see the difference.
