Hello Tom, I had a similar problem with HP tx1000 laptop. When the screen goes to sleep, the X-server must be started again.. ..or alternative you can type ctrl+alt+F5 and (or?) ctrl+alt+F7 (one of these starts the display mode again). This did the trick for me, so at least I dont have to start the x-server (and log out) each time. Hope this crappy solution might help you. ;) .. I still have a mysterious halting of the system every now and then (that might well be because of the *** nvidia driver). .sampsa 2008/1/24, Tom Cada <thomas.cada@gmail.com>:
I have a HP DV9000 series notebook which uses a Nvidia GEForce 6150 video card. I am currently running kernel 2.6.22.13-0.3x86_64.
I updated the drivers using the "one click" install from the openSUSE community web site. The new driver version is Nvidia 169.07.
Now, when the video goes to sleep say with a close of the notebook case, when the case is re-opened, the display is not repainted properly but is completely corrupted. I have to restart the X server using <ctrl><alt><backspace> and log in again to get the proper display. The same think happens when the display is shut down by the power control process.
I have looked at the logs and dmesg and can find no errors but may be looking at the wrong files.
My questions are:
1. Should I post this problem to the Nvidia site?.
2. Can I regress the drivers to the prior properly working drivers (Version: 100.14.19) using Nvidia's driver install process of running a shell script.
3. If I do item 2 am I just digging the hole deeper?
Any thoughts or assistance will be gratefully received.
