Hi, I'm having trouble installing the drivers for my
NVidia GeForce 9800.
I've tried two methods of installing the drivers and get the same results each time. First, I tried the one-click install provided by opensuse. Next, I tried adding the repositories as suggested at the NVidia site.
With both methods, I restart the computer and on boot, it fails to start the X server. I'm forced to replace the xorg.conf file with the backed up version in order to get back into KDE.
Attached is my Xorg log file.
Xorg.0.log
