Hi, I will just add that it looks like the nv driver doesn't work with several Nvidia Quadro FX cards according to bug 577140 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=577140 Terje J. Hanssen
Hi,
Also the 11.3 M1 DVD x86_64 install resulted in distorted graphic display when I booted the Desktop kernel. I am able to boot and login to Failsafe mode with low resolution 1280x1024. From what I can see, I have also the generic 'nv' driver installed. Grep 'Loading' in Xorg.0.log lists:
snip ...........
If no other comments to this, I'll file a bug report in Bugzilla.
Rgds, Terje

Hi, usually if you do not included the Nvisia repository the installation should select the generic Nvidia driver. Just check /var/Xorg.0.log you shouldfind something similar like the following for the generix driver.
(II) LoadModule: "nv" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//drivers/nv_drv.so (II) Module nv: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.6.5, module version = 2.1.14 Module class: X.Org Video Driver ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 5.0 (II) NV: driver for NVIDIA chipsets: RIVA 128, RIVA TNT, RIVA TNT2, Unknown TNT2, Vanta, RIVA TNT2 Ultra, RIVA TNT2 Model 64, Aladdin TNT2, GeForce 256, GeForce DDR, Quadro, GeForce2 MX/MX400, GeForce2 MX 100/200, GeForce2 Go, Quadro2 MXR/EX/Go, GeForce2 Integrated GPU, GeForce2 GTS, GeForce2 Ti, GeForce2 Ultra, Quadro2 Pro, GeForce4 MX 460, GeForce4 MX 440, GeForce4 MX 420, GeForce4 MX 440-SE, GeForce4 440 Go, GeForce4 420 Go, GeForce4 420 Go 32M, GeForce4 460 Go, Quadro4 550 XGL, GeForce4 440 Go 64M, Quadro NVS, Quadro4 500 GoGL, GeForce4 410 Go 16M, GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X, GeForce4 MX 440SE with AGP8X, GeForce4 MX 420 with AGP8X,
If the vendor driver is loaded then a different module is loaded containing some version information.
openSUSE only includes the generic driver, for the vendor driver you have to include the repository located at
