: Third party repos should be removed/disabled for a system upgrade because we cannot and should not support them. In the scenario of a zypper dup, no. ALL old repositories should be removed or disabled I did not use zypper dup. I (a) disabled all third party repositories (b) booted from an instal DVD (c) performed the upgrad I have now installed just the G02 packag "the package"? There are two, and you need them both. nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-<kernel flavour> and x11-video-nvidiaG0 Make sure you reinstalled them both and removed the corresponding G01

Okay, reinstalled the x11-video-nvidiaG02 [ which automatically pulls the other package ]. Removed xorg.conf. Made use the nouvea package was no longer installed. Rebooted. And I end up at a tortured GNOME greeter without working keyboard or pointer. And I had the box set to runlevel 3 - it seems the *(&!@&*($^&*(@ greeter starts anyway. Since the keyboard no longer works all I can do is boot into single user mode, Aside - on initial boot I do see a "/etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifup-sysctl lo -o hotplug": No such file or directory. I then removed [again!] all the nvidia packages, reinstalled ./suse/x86_64/xorg-x11-driver-video-nouveau-0.0.16_20110720_b806e3f-2.1.2.x86_64.rpm from the DVD. Rebooted. At least X doesn't start. :( And doing a startx just claims "No devices detected."
