Hello again.. Well I didn't get any replies, so I must be somewhere out in new territory or no one has encountered this problem besides me...
Anywise, I have forged ahead and discovered a few things, so am still in need of advice. First of all let me say I have restored the ability to bring up the init 5 level GUI sorta... The previous error I reported in my first email, from the xorg.0.log file is no longer showing up after I rebuilt the xorg.conf file, but new errors are now showing up... see below...
I am not sure if I should report nVidia problems via bug reports to openSuSE or directly to nVidia, but I can say the following with certainty -
1 The nvidia configuration tool nvidia-config IS broke. I was able to somewhat track down how it breaks the xorg.conf file by doing diffs on what it does to an xorg.conf file that was created initially by Xorg -configure (which works sorta...) and then subsequently modified by nvidia-xconfig. I haven't tracked down what specifically causes the breakage, but it has to be one of several differences that occur. I would be willing to share the various xorg.conf files and the diff results if anyone cares to pursue this, but since these files are rather lengthy, I won't include them in this posting. Since you are on 11.3, Xorg should actually work without any xorg.conf. Try removing it and seeing what happens. nvidia > nouveau > nv in the Xorg autodetect so it should still boot up with the proprietary drivers.
2. I also have a feeling that the nVidia drivers supplied via the nvidia repository at URL: ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.3/ are broken. Looking at the Xorg.0.log file I can see what appears to be evidence that things are going wrong when the nvidia drivers are being loaded - Works for me. Looks more like a configuration issue than a fundamental
