thanks for the info. would it hurt to do the 1-click install of the legacy over the driver i have installed?
also, i have reinstalled 11.0 after trying to fix x and i got a boot load error asking for a system disk. now x won't start and i keep getting pushed to the command line. when i did startx from init 3 it said that x wasn't supported and there was no xconf. this is from the 11.0 dvd. i also tried a fresh install from the live cd and the kernel doesn't load and i hang at the grub line.
i'm pretty frustrated about all this. i don't know if i fried my hardware (graphics card) when i installed the new driver and then saved it to sax-2, but at this writing i can't use 11.0 at all except from the command line and then with an install from the dvd.
Dwain, Don't worry, frustration is a short lived thing. After you get used to the driver swapping, it only takes a minute or two to do. And, for the short lived part, thanks to Stefan Dirsch, it will be fixed in 11.1: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445549 Keep the faith! -- David C.
