Recently FTP installed 64bit suse 9.2...took forever but worked.
After installing I ran YOU to install the NVIDIA driver ( and only the nvidia driver, I didnt want a new kernel just yet)
I ran the graphic configuration, which worked well- the test even worked. Next time the X server was restarted, tho, my LCD said OUT OF RANGE. What's wierd tho is ALt-F1 still gives OUT OF RANGE, forcing me to blindly login as root , and init 6
It's as if the driver puts the card in a unusable state
next boot I started into runlevel 3 and edited my xorg.conf to use the nv driver instead of nvidia. Running startx confirmed that driver to work.
SOmething is wrong with the nvidia driver, because the driver line is all i changed
glxinfo said

My xorg.conf has glx loading as a module, tho
I got the .run file from nvidia.com
1. It tried to use a precompiled module, which there was none for my kernel
2. it tried to get a module via ftp, which it couldn't
3. it asked me to compile a module, which I let it (and which worked)
4. it asked me if i wanted to replace the module downloaded by YOU, (and I said yes)
5. it said rivafb was compiled as a module, and, if rivafb was loaded, the driverwould not work
I ran lsmod, there was no rivafb, so I changed my xorg.conf back to using the nvidia driver.
startx again made both my terminal and X out of range. I did another blind reboot and looked at my log for X
here is a snipplet:
"(II) Setting vga for screen 0.

Anybody know how to fix this, or how to get 3d in "nv"
