Hi this is mostly a thanks for yast mostly sorting out my problem. I was running my 2.6.24-rc2-4 kernel again which I knew did not work with my legacy nvidia GeForce2 MX 200 card due to advice I found after reading mails about other people's problems installing ralink wireless cards. In fact after recompiling with my version of gcc ( above kernel was compiled with 4.3 ) and enabling the ralink drivers it worked perfectly but my desktop slowed due to nvidia being gone. Then I started yast sw_single and did a reset ignored dependency conflicts and verify system yast suddenly wanted to downgrade my kernel, install ralink drivers and install nvidia drivers again. I decided to go along and included kernel sources for said downgrade (upgrade for my old 2.6.22.9-0.4 ) and downloaded the whole kernel-default-2.6.22.13-0.3.i586.rpm and source and syms (remember I once said I wanted yast to keep copies once and smart package manager doesn't work properly yet) . I then rebooted and as usual my x server didn't start. I was ready for this. I logged in as root and ran NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.01-pkg1.run and it fixed my nvidia problem. My main problem is why did I have to do that, why couldn't my desktop come up immediately. I have noticed various other people with, what seems to be, the same problem. The suse nvidia legacy drivers have a problem that the nvidia ones don't and I think it's just a configuration one, sax doesn't work anymore, is this something to do with politics? I emailed nvidia about their legacy driver and 2.6.24-rc2-4 kernel by the way, I prefer the nvidia x server configuration from nvidia. Why can't suse use that one.
