Hi All,
Basically whatever I do x crashes when using nvidia drivers on my fresh install 10.3 x64 (7600GT card.)
Just to prove that I was not doing anything wrong I performed a fresh install and the error still happens.
I installed 10.3 - clean install. Logged in as root and using this http://opensuse-community.org/nvidia.ymp installer I updated the installation.
I then went into yast->Hardware->Graphics Card and Monitor.
The nvidia card was shown with the 3d tick box ticked. Performing a test was successful. I saved the config. BUT the next start of the xserver crashes... here is last few lines of the output:
(II) NVIDIA(0): Initialized GART. (II) NVIDIA(0): kernel module enabled successfully (II) NVIDIA(0): Memory mapped (II) NVIDIA(0): Created acpid client socket 14. (II) NVIDIA(0): Interrupts enabled (II) NVIDIA(0): The NVIDIA X driver has encountered an error; attempting to (II) NVIDIA(0): recover... (II) NVIDIA(0): Initialized GART.

Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting
On my first install this happened. I tried a few things (factory pkg.run file) biut never any success. So I reinstalled and did the above for my own sanity. And the server always crashes with the nvidia driver. With the nv driver it works ('sax2 -r -m 0=nv'). Previously I did an install of 10.3 RC1 x64 on exactly the same hardware and it worked no problem.
I am really at my wits end on this. I have noticed other people have their nvidia x64 driver working. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks, Pieter
I got yast to get the nvidia repos then search for nvidia. install nvidia-gfx-G01-kmp-default yast throws up x11-video-nvidiaG01 as a dependency on some boxes I have on the lan and some not. Check it anyway and accept. alt ctrl f1 and Come to runlevel 3. Copy your old (eg backed up 10.2?) /etc/X11/xorg.conf back to /etc/X11 Back to x It's a mess but it worked for me. And I'm a girl!
