[opensuse] Dratted 'nouveau' driver...
I just got myself a nice non CRT monitor. Along with it I also got an nvidia card. The monitor works fine, this is the second nvidia card I've had that completely screws up my system. After 30 seconds my mouse barely works, typing anything is a joke as things double-tap or triple-tap without one knowing, ad nauseum. It's a similar card to my other one that I thought was bad, but made by a different company. In the meantime I was awaiting this new card, I used the onboard video, nvida also. Things worked great on my old CRT and worked okay on this new monitor until the new card screwed things up and I switched to the onboard video with this new monitor. Now I can't get to X. I've tried to install the nvidia driver that was working fine before, but it keeps popping up that the kernel is using the nouveau module and I have to disable it before I can install the nvidia driver. I've uninstalled everything 'nouveau' from YaST and still get the same problem. I'm now in 'safe' mode, but of course the graphics are horrible, etc. Can anyone help me out here? How do I get the kernel to stop using the 'nouveau' module so I can install the nvidia driver and get back to my regular system with my new monitor?

Afterward you install the Nvidia propietary driver. Just in case you forgot. Type: "nomodeset " at boot time. And maybe you will need to edit bootloader to boot "nomodeset" too So the system will not look for Nouveau driver. Comment apart: In case you have not tried it before with the Nouveau driver . You are able to add Mesa 3d experimental driver to enable 3D effects to your Video Card additionally to Nouveau driver. Hope this can help or give you some leads.

<snip> That seemed to work. At least now I can use the onboard graphics. It's a shame that two cards (g210's) from two different brand names, won't work on this MOBO. I wasted money I can ill afford to waste.
