Take your pick. I have tried them all. According to SuSE and nVidia, the
correct driver is:
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.44-pkg2.run
or from the repository:
nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-default-180.29_2.6.27.18_0.3-0.1.x86_64.rpm
x11-video-nvidiaG02-180.29-0.1.x86_64.rpm

There are dozens of previous copies. I have packaged the most recent
ones here: http://tasit.net/files/xorg.zip

Oh! How I wish it was that simple. Unfortunately, with the new card,
Windows XP resolutions and graphics are truly outstanding.

Agreed. I only mentioned sax2 as one of the desperate attempts I have
tried to recover some form of usable display.

Fine, but it doesn't change how I feel.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
