I just noticed when I go to YOU and click on installable patches it shows the nvidia driver but it shows as 0B as in zero bytes like there is nothing there to download.
Because it is just a script, which in turn downloads the nvidia driver. For a legal reasons Novel is not allowed to distribute the driver by themselves.

This is strange. It shows Vesa frame buffer. But under options it actually shows tvout support and all that. I ran sax2 -m 0=nvida when it comes up I hit ok. I think it might be the nvida driver I suppose because of the boat load of options I see but it just reads vesa fb.
There are no errors in the xorg.log either. Below is the last few lines in the log

Do you see something like this in the log:

Also, check if there are lines starting with (EE) - these are error messages.
