[LUG] NVIDIA PROBLEMS

["paul" <zen14920@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have just used yast to update suse 9 and it downloaded the nvidia drivers,
this seeemed to go fine, upon rebooting the screen freezes on the login
screen (i get the nvidia splash screen),  I can control the mouse, but can't
do anything like use the keyboard,

I switched to runlevel 3 using init 3 and had a look at yast from there, I
have 3d accealaration enabled, yast will allow me to remove the nvidia
driver and restore what I had before, or it will do this if I disable 3d
accellaration,

using startx from the console gets as far as loading the final bit of kde,
(restoring session i think) then it just freezes the screen.

whats goning wrong?

I have a geforce4 mx440 card, or a 420 not sure which,  which is in an agp
slot,

I had this before, so I suspect it's an issue with the card, but I am not
sure.  Given that yast has done the configure I can kind of rule out me not
doing the config right as i did not need to edit the xf86config file,

thanks for any help

Paul
