Ok next problem. I have a new motherboard that the manual says it uses "Integrated programmable Shader model 3.0 DirectX 9 graphics processor"
My screen looks just like a series of green, black, and white horizontal lines. There is nothing remotely decipherable about it.
I verified the problem is not the monitor itself by plugging in a different monitor which I am using on another system and I got the same screen - lots of horizontal lines.
It sounds like a sync issue. How are you sure that the alternative monitor you tried supports the configured refresh rate? I guess you are not.
Those 2 lines of your log look suspicious to me:
[ 34.463] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Using hsync ranges from config file [ 34.463] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Using vrefresh ranges from config file
I don't know what is in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file but if the hsync and vrefresh values are out of range for your monitors you would see patterns on the screen as you report.
Something that might help is to rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf if it exists, and/or to move the files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ somewhere where they won't be found.
I second that. Actually I think that an xorg.conf file is no longer needed with the most recent drivers.

I found out what happened. My ethernet cable was bad, so there was no way to look up the right repository. I took the generic nouvou instead. I was able to load the correct repository using yast from a terminal and get it to work. Thanks to all!
