Hello to the list. Hi
I use SuSE 9.1 and it works very fine. Some time ago I got new nvidia driver and installed it without problems, I got 3D without problems and all fine, problem is when I went to console (Crtl+ALT+F1 or F2) all is in blue, after some time all consoles were corrupted.
How can I solve my problem with consoles???
I have the exact same Nvidia card, although I only have SuSE 9.0, but I had a similar problem. If I switched between consoles 1-6 and X four times then X Windows would lockup and I would have to login remotely from another box and kill X because I couldn't even switch to the consoles after that. The problem went away when I upgraded to the Nvidia driver v1.0.6111 as you have, plus I upgraded X Windows to X.org using these packages: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/Xorg/Xorg-2004-03-18/i386 Personally, I would recommend this version of X.org over the newer packages because the latest seem to be unstable and these are a straight forward upgrade of the existing X packages. Just download them to an empty directory and run 'rpm -Uvh *.rpm' in that directory as root. (Remember to backup /etx/X11/XF86Config first if you have a good setup so you can replace it after installing the RPMs) Hope that solves your problem too. And you can always go back to the SuSE X packages if not.
System is: SuSE 9.1 amd computer at 2000 mhz ram 512 harddisk 40 gigas nvidia GeForce2 MX/MX 400 (nv) monitor samsung samtron 55E (PLUS) [28-61 khz / 50-120 hz]
