As a note, a test kernel-3.7.10 was posted to the https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=800686 (comment#11) raised on openSUSE-12.3, which I tried out on my PC with the FX5200 graphic card. The test kernel works with the nouveau driver on openSUSE-12.3 GM version with the nouveau driver. I'm hopeful that this patch will make it into future openSUSE releases, and possibly into an official openSUSE-12.3 kernel update ?? (I'm waiting to see the kernel poster's response). I can't tell the source of the patch (local or upstream) as doing a " rpm -qp kernel-desktop-3.7.10-0.i686.rpm --changehistory " shows various updates but does not make clear to me (with my limited knowledge) as to which patch addressed the nouveau driver problem. But I am very happy to see / test the test kernel (which works !! ) . :) On 02/08/2013 09:58 PM, oldcpu wrote:

Thanks for chiming in. If it's the KMS stuff then I'm golden: I have the latest two working kernels (plus the new one) still installed on the machine. I'm not sure when I will get around to test this, but I'll let you know. Booting the machine with the previous 3.4.6 kernel (yes it's been a while before I updated again) resolves the problem.
In addition to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=800686 raised on openSUSE-12.3 beta1 (problem also is present on 12.3 RC1) , I raised an upstream bug report https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60516 on the nouveau driver with the 3.7 kernel. This is my 1st upstream bug report (that I can recall) so hopefully I managed submitting it correctly.
I also note two other GNU/Linux distributions with the 3.7 kernel (one slackware based and one Ubuntu based) have the identical symptoms with the nouveau driver and the 3.7.x kernel when using the nvidia FX5200 graphic hardware (on the identical PC).
