Ok this one is new to me here but maybe someone here has seen this before. I did a fresh install of suse 10.2 on my dell laptop the other day. Everything went great ran the update and installed the nvidia driver and now when I get to the login screen I just get a 1/2 screen with nothing on one side and what looks to be my login screen all garbled on the other half. Now the real funny part I hit ctrl-alt-backspace I get the nice nvidia screen and my login screen looks fine.For now I went back to the "nv" driver and things seem fine.Any ideas?

I am using the one from the nvidia website, the one with suse does the same thing with my video card. I also note you have a 6800 where I am running a 6800 GS, but its probably just the support for the 6800 series is not perfect.

You can also use the nvidia settings manager to set the resolution, I don't think the one from suse allows setting the resolution though but if it does remember to save it to the xorg.conf file otherwise you loose the setting when you log out.

Actually the 6800 is fine its my Geforce2 in my inspiron. The "nv" driver is working fine its the "nvidia" (9639) thats giving me the problems. I couldn't even reconfigure it with sax, it would crash the whole system.Had to edit xorg.conf manually.I'm gonna try one of the older NVidia drivers and see how they work.

I think this one is for the geforce2:

Newer driver too . Hope that will help.

Edit: sorry didn't read all of the post, check the readme files and see if you can locate that specific card, might get lucky and find it
