Basil, Russ and Michael,
can you test this: - boot in runlevel 3, type digit 3 on boot menu screen and press Enter, that will bring you in text mode - login as user works the same way as GNOME login - startx this command is is oldfashioned way to start GUI, wait until KDE/GNOME is done than - logout from GUI, it will bring you back to command line, that is also oldfashioned behavior - startx again in this moment I have lockup.
If I set openSUSE to run directly in GUI ie. runevel 5 than there is *no* problems. I can logout and login as many times as I want.
I tried 2 different drivers, both compiled against the newest kernel, and one precompiled from nvidia web site, installed with zypper (yast). They all have same behavior.
Ran my machine through these hoops, and it didn't give me any grief. I'm using the original kernel (I believe, I know I haven't allowed it to update to the latest one sitting in the updater) 2.6.22.5-31 and the precompiled driver that yast installed from the nvidia repo.
I use dual screen in TwinView mode. That is also pain to configure as sax2 can't see second monitor, but that is a problem since 10.1.
I have onboard nvidia GeForce 6100 LT that is always on due to 'overengineered BIOS' that probably looks for PCI Express adapter, can't see one and enables onboard graphics that I just disabled. The motherboard is MSI K8NGM2 series (emachines T6528).
If I had to guess, one of these two things is probably the culprit. I'm running on a very basic older machine (1.2G celeron, no onboard graphics, agp fx 5200) Wish I could be more help, but about all I can really tell you at this point is that my FX 5200 is working. Have you tried downgrading to the original kernel to see if it's causing the trouble?
