No, but I have a similar issue, after installing the driver, sax2 said it cannot enable 3D on the card, and I have to download the "original" driver from Nvidia (which I just did, via Yast) :))
...but, as I restarted Linux after original driver installation, now I can see a very nice BLANK scren in front of my face!!! :-(
At the linux start-up screen, issue 'init 3' when you get control at the command line, issue 'switch2nv' then issue 'init 5' You will have X back but *no* 3d (and will not be using the new nvidia drivers). To use sax2, from an 'init 3' screen, issue 'sax2 -l' this will bring up sax2 at 600x480 (barely readable on lcd) note: I installed a new video (FX5200) card into an amd machine with an lcd and was unable to use 3d or the nvidia drivers (no, I do not know why and no-one has been able to tell me why/how). also: I did not try, 'sax2 -l -m 0=nvidia' (afterthought) -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711
