I tried opensuse 12.1 Gm today. Installation was perfect with xfce 4.8 until I tried installing the nvidia driver. In runlevel 5 as superuser I tried to shift to runlevel 3 and was welcome with a black screen, I have to use ctrl-alt-delete to reboot. During the reboot I used runlevel 3 and I was able to install the nvidia driver. After the nvidia driver installation I tried to shift to runlevel 5 and there, I was welcome with a black screen with a stationary blinking x cursor. I rebooted once again wiith runlevel 5 to get the gui. Any one had seen this happened? This installation is from the i586 opensuse 12.1 dvd I .Your help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance -- *People who do not break things first will never learn to create anything* ------------------------------------------------------------------------

My daughter has a lappy x86_64 with nvidia video card that would like to upgrade. Was there no any issues when you install yours? I am assuming you used the dvd iso. -- *People who do not break things first will never learn to create anything* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ conram's Profile: http://forums.opensuse.org/member.php?userid=872 View this thread: http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php?t=468053

I have a test system using vmware player. Also, the proprietary driver for the easy method (rpm) is not ready yet. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 11.4 x86_64 "Celadon" at Telcontar)
