Installed suse 9.1 updates no screen


OK installed Suse and everything went fine. I installed my video drivers for my Nvidia 5950 and that went fine. But I then I installed the updates and after rebooting the screen is scrambled.

Any help would be great thanks.

I have done this a number of times on SUSE 9. Each time you update XFree86, or anything to do with the X11 window managers, you have to re-install the NVIDIA driver. But you don't have to edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config file again. Just do the "sh nvidia" thing, and it will reinstall it.
