SuSE 10.1 install appears to go fine until it gets to setting the video. The monitor and card are detected OK and a reasonable resolution is suggested, but the "sax2 test" just produces a black screen until it finally drops out. Setting the resolution to the
I am sure it is an nVidia driver issue, but surely the nv driver Yast installs should work for any nVidia card.
What monitor is connected? A CRT? A TFT? Have you checked the xorg.conf file to see if the frequency ranges it's trying to use are actually within the real frequency ranges the monitor is capable of? I've had issues with SAX guessing/using the wrong frequency ranges - especially for TFT monitors. The result is... blank screen... because the TFT turns itself off. That's nothing to do with any problems with the nVidia card or the driver itself.... assuming that's the problem. So, the solution to the video problem might be as simple as either using SAX and customizing the freq settings, or opening the xorg.conf file in your favorite text editor and changing the horiz and vert freq settings to match what the monitor really can support.
