Hi Everyone,

I'm having problems with the 64bit Nvidia driver, Its nearly working but every other time I switch on the system X hangs with a black screen and I cant Kill X or get in over SSH to see whats going on. If I then Power off the system, there is some brief hard disk activity and the next time I boot, X starts up and runs perfectly.

I'm sure this must be a simple fix, I'm guessing there is a failsafe parameter that is used following a poweroff without clean shut down. Either that or resource allocation is different following a poweroff without clean shut down.

I've tried looking at the XFree86.log files and dmesg but cant see any clues.

Has anyone seen this before? or can anyone tell me where I should be looking.

The system is: Suse 9.1 for AMD_64 Shuttle SN85G4V2 with nvidia Nforce 3 chipset AMD 64 3000+ Nvidia FX5200 (by XFX) Maxtor 120Gb SATA

Hope you can help.
