Hi,

I have previously posted this message describing problem with 8600GT and 
nVidia binary driver 100.14.03. Below I have included lspci and log 
information, which might be necessary to track down the problem.

> I have just assembled new PC with Intel Core2 Duo, Gigabyte m/b,
> Intel P35 Chipset, and Asus 8600GT/512MB PCIe video card.
>
> Software: SuSE 10.2 with latest kernel update, latest nvidia driver
> from its web site installed manually ("modprobe nvidia" works)
>
> However, neither "sax2" neither  "sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia" do not work as
> expected - sax2 ALWAYS switch to framebuffer mode.
>
> I have replaced video card with MSI 8600GT, installed it into another
> PCIe slot, problem still exists.
>
> Strange enogh, since lspci DOES lists this video card. Additionally,
> Windoze works on this PC, so it is not a hadware problem.
