As you can see, quite frequently! This appears to be a common problem, perhaps a regression in the kernel.

I'd use the 'nv' driver, if I could, but I can't (it doesn't work on my machine _at all_ much of the time).

Why? Which GPU is this ("hwinfo --gfxcard")? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I hope the updated drivers from home:jobermayr and the newer kernel (2.6.35.2 now?) are made available soon - they made a notable improvement for me.
Unfortunately we don't do kernel version updates via online update. So this one needs to wait for openSUSE 11.4 to be fixed. :-( -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Isn't possible to backport the whole nouveau module only?
No, that will not work for 11.3, sorry. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
