I had to use a different monitor on my computer for a short time, because I was replacing my CPU and motherboard today, and noticed that, when using the other monitor during the upgrade, the X server wouldn't load. I assumed this was simply due to it not being the monitor for which X is configured, but later, once I was back at home and able to use my original monitor, I still couldn't load X.

I checked YaST and everything is configured correctly.

I tried a simple 'telinit 5' and that had no effect.

When running 'startx' it is reported that the server was unable to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module and that it could find a screen, but none were properly configured.

I set up the newest NVIDIA drivers a couple days ago and have had no trouble. Any ideas?

I have the same problem but it's because the motherboard (quite old; you really don't want to know what the processor is :-) ) has an older S3 chip that the XFree86 V4 X server no longer supports. I get the same message about finding a screen (or screens) but not properly configured. There is supposed to be a V3.x server that you can download from SuSE that will work. I wonder if you're gettin burned in the same way?
