On my system, today's xorg update overwrote parts of the NVIDIA closed source driver. If you are using that driver the easiest solution is to boot into safe mode and reinstall it.
It should not have (and likely has not) overwritten anything.
My xorg log file with the problem no longer exists but I believe the problem was related to glx.
What exactly did you see as problems?
The nvidia splash screen loading, dark screen flicker several times, then the nvidia splash loading again. This repeated several times, then stopped on a dark screen.
On manual reinstall of the nvidia driver it complained about the previous nvidia installation having been modified since it was initially installed (glx library symbolic link in usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions). After the install was complete (with no changes to xorg.conf) the driver worked fine.

I second that - exactly the same symptoms and resolution here. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@optusnet.com.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
