Problems With Suse 10.3 And The Screen Resolution, Need to remove nvidia drivers
I have a PC that has an ATI 1300 series and two dual 22 inch monitors. I was attempting to try to use the dual monitors instead of having what seemed to be a mirror image of the first one including the mouse and movement. I forgot it was an ATI card and I attempted to install the Nvidia card drivers (i am sure i am not the first or last to do this).
Now I have a "out of Range, cannot display this video mode, please change display input to 1680 X 1050 @ 60 mhz"
I attempted to remote log in using VNC and SSH, both were successful, however changing the resolution in VNC doesnt work and looking at the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and changing the nvidia to ati
Well using another (non-nvidia) graphics card driver should be a matter of modifying xorg.conf like you mentioned; in addition to changing the driver to ati (or vesa if you can't get anything else working) you need to check all the other options - that they make any sense. Disable any direct rendering stuff you might find to make sure you get it working. After that removing the actual driver should be a matter of removing the package you installed, or just making sure the kernel module does not get loaded during boot.
as far as removing the rpm, I went through the non-GUI version of yast and the software area and could not find anything with nvidia. The graphix card area would not load up at all. Then for some reason after many many many restarts, the OS loaded up and i was able to go in there and log in. I went into sax2 to enable the dual monitors and the 3d acceleration and now nothing but black screen again.
Still complaining about out of range 1680X1050@60 mhz
in the xorg.conf file this is the vid card area: Can you please take a look and see where i need to change it?

Rep:
It might be a stupid remark.
But I can remember a statement from suse when I install my Nvidia driver If you install the driver in the way we advise it
you have nothing to do when there is a kernel up date ,beside restarting of course
And yes you could not find it yast

Rep:
If my suspicion is right she patch it to kernel
IF that is right than the only way is to go back to the original kernel without the patch
But I can not proof it
