Hello, I still have the problem, that running the nvidia drivers crashes my system completely, so I can only do press the reset button. Not even the Num- or Shift-key are changing their LEDs any more. I have this problem quite some time now, so I don't even remember, when it started. Some days ago I once again installed the latest driver (nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop 256.53_2.6.31.5_0.1-15.1, x86_64) for my a Gigabyte GeForce 6600 (Gigabyte) on an Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz currently running OpenSuSE Linux 2.6.31.14-0.2-default, but it still shows this behavior: launch X with the nvidia driver and the system stops. After reboot, there is nothing at all in the logs, that could help in analyzing the problem. I have no problem with the nv driver, but this one does not give me the full resolution of my display, only 1280x1024 instead of 1600x1200, that I 'd like to use. Does anybody have any idea, what I could try?
You are better getting the drivers direct from NVidia.
I'm currently using the 190-42 version. The downloaded file is called NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.42-pkg2.run.
This is exactly the version what is provided as RPM. So this won't help. You file a bugreport via linux-bugs@nvidia.com.

Hello,
I have a newly installed opensuse 11.2 x86_64. I installed the nvidia-gfx02-kmp-desktop package after installing the system. Otherwise I did not install anything special. If I use the nv module, X displays ok, but with a lower resolution. Though I set the resolution to 1600x1200 using sax2, nv tell, that it cannot switch to a resolution higher than the one set in BIOS.
Most likely you're using the DVI output which is limited to the resolutions provided by the BIOS of the graphics card when using the nv driver.
Does anybody know, how to get either the nvidia driver running or how to either tell BIOS to use a higher resolution or to tell nv to ignore BIOS resolution?
You can't. :-(
Best regards, Stefan
