Yep, it's a known fault. However, I don't see any fix for it. Fortunately, this isn't my main system. That one also has a nVidia card, but it's connected with DVI.
Small update on this... I've now installed openSUSE 11.4 on my main computer, and am not seeing the screen flicker issue that's described in the linked bugs, and this thread. - openSUSE 11.4 76 bit (default install, updated to standard 11.4 repos) - KDE4.6 (default install, updated to standard 11.4 repos) - nVidia proprietary drivers, version=270.30 (Nouveau driver blacklisted, nVidia driver manually installed) A few things that may or may not be key here... 64 bit install vs 32 bit (I thought I saw something that suggested it may be a 32 issue?)... and using the latest nVidia Beta drivers instead of the older stable drivers from the openSUSE repository. Maybe it's worth trying the latest Beta drivers? They seem to be working without fault for me.
