Question is why. Probably because the hardware is not supported by any native driver on openSUSE 11.1. Please attach the output of 'hwinfo --gfxcard'. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

After installing nvidia's blob driver, everything goes back to normal (besides bootsplash and grub, because my framebuffer allows only 4:3 resolutions). I've got hwinfo --all from livecd and hope that part below is exactly what --gfxcard would give. 25: PCI(AGP) 100.0: 0300 VGA compatible controller (VGA) [Created at pci.318] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10de_2e1 Unique ID: VCu0.eH8fw+ykFi9 Parent ID: vSkL.S16qDHSKEeD SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:01:00.0 Hardware Class: graphics card Model: "nVidia G73 [GeForce 7600 GS]" Vendor: pci 0x10de "nVidia Corporation" Device: pci 0x02e1 "G73 [GeForce 7600 GS]" Revision: 0xa2 Memory Range: 0xde000000-0xdeffffff (rw,non-prefetchable) Memory Range: 0xc0000000-0xcfffffff (rw,prefetchable) Memory Range: 0xdd000000-0xddffffff (rw,non-prefetchable) Memory Range: 0xdfee0000-0xdfefffff (ro,prefetchable,disabled) IRQ: 11 (no events) I/O Ports: 0x3c0-0x3df (rw) Module Alias: "pci:v000010DEd000002E1sv00000000sd00000000bc03sc00i00" Driver Info #0: Driver Status: nvidiafb is not active Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe nvidiafb" Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #12 (PCI bridge) PS: Can you tell if it's possible to omit the restriction given by nvidia's hardware and use fullhd 16:9 resolution for grub and bootsplash and/or splashy? vbetest confirms there's no widescreen res for fbuffer, but there's always a hope. PS2: xorg.conf says it tried using fullhd resolution: the only modeline in Modes section is "Modeline "1920x1080" 148 1920 2008 2052 2200 1080 1084 1089 1125" but something strange appears earlier in Monitor: "Option "PreferredMode" "768x576". -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

"My GeForce 7600 GS is supported by nv driver, which was earlier always used by livecd" By earlier I ment: before I change my display from ol' Philips 105S (15'' CRT) to LG W2243S (22'' wide LCD). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So falling back to fbdev is intended behaviour. We don't track NVIDIA driver bugs filed against openSUSE.
