hi all ~

I have an HP Pavillion dv6105us laptop, AMD Turion64, with a GeForce Go
6150, dual booting with Media Center and SuSE 10.1.

Tired of no GL or 3D support in the dummy suse drivers, I have tried
three different methods to install the real drivers, and they all caused
the same problem.  I have tried:  YAST, 'tiny-nvidia-installer', and a
direct rpm run, following the howto that the nvidia site points to, with
the same result.  I made sure I was in runlevel 3.  Each time I
installed the drivers, the install seemed to go without a hitch, no
errors or crfashes, but after rebooting, X tries to start, and all I get
is a blank screen.  Crashing X shows an error about no screens being
available.  I don't know enough to directly configure the X server, and
sax won't load.  I'm going to image the disk before trying it again,
since I have had to reinstall each time (the newbie curse).  Any help
would be appreciated.

Thank you,
