I have a fresh install (onto newly formatted drives) of openSUSE 12.3, which went very smoothly, but when I switched over to the nVidia drivers (310.32) the desktop would just be a black screen with the cursor (still movable) after logging in.
The only thing of concern in Xorg.0.log is
4.589] (II) LoadModule: "glamoregl"
4.591] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so
4.614] (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so: undefined symbol: _glapi_tls_Context
4.614] (II) UnloadModule: "glamoregl"
4.614] (II) Unloading glamoregl
4.614] (EE) Failed to load module "glamoregl" (loader failed, 7)
Do I even need this if I’m using the nVidia drivers? My main issue is this one:
5.213] (II) NVIDIA(0): ACPI: failed to connect to the ACPI event daemon; the daemon
5.213] (II) NVIDIA(0): may not be running or the "AcpidSocketPath" X
5.213] (II) NVIDIA(0): configuration option may not be set correctly. When the
5.213] (II) NVIDIA(0): ACPI event daemon is available, the NVIDIA X driver will
5.213] (II) NVIDIA(0): try to use it to receive ACPI event notifications. For
5.213] (II) NVIDIA(0): details, please see the "ConnectToAcpid" and
5.213] (II) NVIDIA(0): "AcpidSocketPath" X configuration options in Appendix B: X
5.213] (II) NVIDIA(0): Config Options in the README.
When I compare the message time to equivalents in /var/log/messages, I came across this:

I haven’t had any nVidia issues since the 11.x days, but I’ve noticed that a few people have had different issues with 12.3 and nVidia drivers - though I haven’t found anyone with ACPI warnings in their Xorg.0.log. Does anyone have any suggestions?
