Comment # 2 on bug 964429 from Ulrich Windl

I tried booting the previous kernel (via GRUB menu), but that didn't change a
thing.
Next thing I tried was to remove the Nvidia "G03" packages via Yast software
management, and surprisingly those modules were not removed, but replaced with
Nvidia "G04" modules:
nvidia-uvm-gfxG04-kmp-default-352.79_k4.1.12_1-19.1.x86_64 Mon Feb  1 13:12:37

These modules cauise a complete failure to star tthe X server (it seems).
I had to switch to the text console. There I removed those "G04" packets (which
worked). Then I could start an X session with the usual resolution again.
