Upgrade from previous versions to 11.0 should probably rewrite xorg.conf to use 'nv' instead of 'nvidia'
Usually the nvidia driver is uninstalled during update, since there is no package update available for the kernel. So the nvidia driver entry will point to the "nvidia" dummy driver, which is a copy of the nv driver. So patching xorg.conf is not required here. -- 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.

It's unlikely that the driver behaves different on openSUSE 10.3. Therefore it's handled consistent from 11.0 down to SLES10.
And once you're updating to openSUSE >= 11.0, you'll be bitten by this issue again. So this is not a solution either. -- 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 dont get this. Why did you removed support for Device ID is 0x0221? Drivers from nvidia site supports it. Same for you. Please read comment #6 and comment #11. Thanks.

Yes i read those, but i didnt understand are you going to fix that or have opensSUSE just dropped supporting that card? -- 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.

Nvidia documentation claims that this card is still supported by the "g01", and the nvidia installer works ok, so I guess Klaus initial afirmation is wrong now.
Well, my system freezing is very real. That said, ymmv. -- 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 dont know what is situation in Klaus PC, but those Nvidia packages works just fine for me. No freezing or anything. I dont understand this, one user has problems, openSUSE stops supporting whole card? Nvidia still supports it.
So do we have a draw now. It works for you, it does not for me. -- 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.

Stefan, its your decision in the end.
Thanks. I'll enable it again for next driver release.
Reenabling the card might make a lot of users happy or get you a lot of bug reports ;-)
Not more than now I'm rather sure. It could well be that this issue with your card only happens in your machine. -- 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.
