I missed out the information that this is OpenSuSE 10.2 Patrick Shanahan escreveu:
Have you done a recent kernel up/down-grade?
No. The story as I have it from my 11 year old is that he was playing X2 when it "just froze" so he switched the computer off and on again (which he /has/ been told never to do). So far as I can tell, it's been like this since.
rpm -qa --last |grep kernel
$ rpm -qa --last | grep kernel kernel-default-2.6.18.8-0.7 Sun 16 Dec 2007 21:44:25 GMT kernel-source-2.6.18.8-0.7 Mon 10 Dec 2007 23:35:37 GMT kernel-docs-2.6.18.2-34 Sun 24 Dec 2006 13:48:12 GMT linux-kernel-headers-2.6.18.2-3 Sun 24 Dec 2006 13:46:44 GMT
If so, you need to reinstall the version of the NVidia driver you are using. I am currently using: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.19-pkg2.run
I already tried that. I even went back to the instructions on the openSuSE web site to make sure I was doing it right, had the right modules for the card etc. $ rpm -qa --last | grep nvidia x11-video-nvidia-1.0.9639-0.1 Mon 14 Jan 2008 09:56:41 GMT nvidia-gfx-kmp-default-1.0.9639_2.6.18.8_0.7-0.1 Mon 14 Jan 2008 09:55:51 GMT Do you think reinstalling the kernel might help?
