Hi Bob, yast2->system->/etc/sysconfig editor->system->kernel set NO_KM_IN_INITRD to true reboot the system. You may also need to add the line: blacklist nouveau to the file /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf Francesco -- There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. -- Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" On Wed, Jul 7, 2010 at 1:35 PM, Bob Ewart <bob-ewart@att.net> wrote:

2. On my nvidia chipset, it used the Nouveau driver, which is now the default. Whereas the effects work with the the NVidia driver on 11.2, this driver keeps disabling the effects. I will see if I can get the driver to work. If not, I will change to the Nvidia driver.

Did you try to install the Nvidia driver?
I did on 11.3 rc2 and got:
<snip>
NVIDIA: calling KBUILD... make -C /lib/modules/2.6.34-12-desktop/build \ KBUILD_SRC=/usr/src/linux-2.6.34-12 \ KBUILD_EXTMOD="/tmp/selfgz7489/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-256.35/kernel" -f /usr/s rc/linux-2.6.34-12/Makefile \ modules test -e include/generated/autoconf.h -a -e include/config/auto.conf || ( \ echo; \ echo " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \ echo " include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\ echo " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it ."; \ echo; \ /bin/false)
Then a bunch of compiles followed by:
NVIDIA: left KBUILD. -> done. -> Kernel module compilation complete. ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.ko'. This happens most frequently when this kernel module was built against the wrong or improperly configured kernel sources, with a version of gcc that differs from the one used to build the target kernel, or if a driver such as rivafb/nvidiafb is present and prevents the NVIDIA kernel module from obtaining ownership of the NVIDIA graphics device(s), or NVIDIA GPU installed in this system is not supported by this NVIDIA Linux graphics driver release.

That was after I did the make oldconfig && make prepare running in level 3 as root.
The web site wasn't much help.
Any ideas?
