Total lock up with two different nvidia cards (fx5500, followed by 5200), won't install graphics on installation of Suse 10 (Linux Magazine UK version DVD - good on Linux Mag!!).
Installing system to boot into runlevel 3 sax2 locks up - screen flicks blank once, comes back with cursor at left top, fixed not blinking, nothing works except reset switch.
What do I do? This has occurred both before installing updates and after online update, including downloading nvidia drivers.
Only oddity I can think of is second video card - a PCI matrox millenium. But works OK in 9.3 with that.
How to solve? Beware non tekkie user - spell it out and don't make basic knowledge assumptions!!
Many thanks
--------------------------------------------------------------------- Have you tried removing the Matrox card to see if things begin to work normally? You might also check your /var/log/messages file or the Xorg.0.log for errors/help in what's happening. Are you saying the setup doesn't work with either the SuSE supplied nv driver or nVidia's driver?
