Shutdown problem after installing nVidia driver
 
Toshiba Tecra M2 dual boot SuSE 9.3/XP
Linux worked fine with the generic graphics driver. After installing NVidia driver for the nVidia GeForceFX Go5200 32M/64M card the problems started. At shutdown there are two different outcomes. In the best case the screen turns into brightly coloured band, some flashing, it looks like the video is failing. After 5 to 10 seconds though the system is down and powered off. In the other case the screen goes black and the harddrive spinning. The only way to stop the system is to keep the powerputton pressed for some time. I have not found any pattern in the occurance of the two cases, it is one or the other randomly. Sometime the system hangs during booting too now.

could you give us a print out of both your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install
