thanks for the lengthy reply. as one poster noted i should have been in runlevel 3 when i installed the driver. i was in runlevel 5, so i guess i screwed up royally.
recovery *is* possible :^)
my question is, if i do a startx,
no reason as your X is bonkers at the present and "startx" litterally means to *start* X.
go to the console, switch to runlevel 3 and reinstall the driver, will it correct my error and boot into the kde desktop?
yes/maybe/probably, but more information is necessary to be sure. How did you install which nvidia driver? Usually when trying to solve a problem, you would announce the openSUSE version and architecture, and detail the steps that caused your problem and any particular hardware that might be interesting, such as the video card. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
