Default Help plz: Graphics driver issue

I downloaded the new 11.2 when it appeared on distro watch. I went to the wiki for the one-touch nvidia install but it wouldn't work with this version. I followed the directions and installed via the repo. But now it wont load a GUI logon, I logged on via the command line and typed startx but x just crashes.

States
"Failed to load the nvidia kernl module
aborting"

How do I fix?

Thx

Manual Install is the way to go. But I would ask, why are you using Milestone 2? We encourage testing, but if you were up to the job of testing, you would know the solution to your question.

Yes, being new to opensuse, I did not know what milestone meant when I downloaded it. In my thinking 11.0 was base and that Suse must be calling 11.1 and 11.2 milestones. The Distrowatch entry did not clarify that it was a beta.

Since i have no way of knowing how to fix the issue at this point, I will simply revert.

Thanks for the prompt and blunt reply
