Default Nvidia - scrambled kdm background and login splash

Hi openSuse users,

I have a freshly installed openSuse11.1 64 bit (KDE3.5) using the latest Nvidia 64 bit driver (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.44-pkg2.run) for my Geforce9800 GTX+. I use dual screening (twinview) mode autodetected by the Nvidia configuration tool, with two different screens and two different resolutions (one Asus VH222 and a Sony 19").
Within the KDE session everything works just fine, no problem.

When I have however the kdm login screen I have only the center containing the username and password fields etc.. (at the login resolution) and around all two screens are filled up with a mess coming from previous kde sessions. When I log in, I have a splash with the same mess, and only afterwards the normal kde session loads correctly.

I had never experienced any problem like this with nvidia drivers. Do you know how to get rid of this graphics scrambling in the login screen?

I also saw, that sax2 does not correctly support dual screening with my configuration, this is why I used the nvidia configuration tool to produce a xorg.conf file.

Thanks in advance.

Peter
