I downloaded and installed the latest nvidia 7174 driver for amd-64. Still same problem with nvidia driver, it locks up and is a blue-green splotchy background with a few horiz line running through it. Screen resolution is set to exactly LCD 1680x1050 which is what the screen is.
Don't worry Art, I've been running SUSE 9.3 for some time and I can honestly tell you that I cannot get none of the Nvidia site drivers to work and the Yast online update does not work either. I was able to get them working with 9.0 9.1 9.2 and that's it! I've searched and tried every single suggestion out there and I even tried changing my video card to a different one in yast; just to see, with no luck! There is some huge discussions going on over at the Nvidia Linux forum about the GO series video cards having issues on other laptops, including Compaq and HP. For the record, I am running your same exact resolution as you. JD
