Hy,
I updated from 10.3 to 11.1 version and now randomly the display blink with a black full screen. The frequency is about 1 minute and for roughly 1 sec the video commute from normal->black->normal.
In YAST the settings for video and graphics are the same.
even while you work? Because it sounds like a mad screensaver to me.
yes, during the work.
Which video equipment?
LG M198WA with nvidia quadro 2 mxr.
I tried to check the screensaver, but with my big surprise I don’t know how to set the screensaver. With the KDE 3.5 it was easy but here with the 4 I can’t find the configuration window. Now I have a problem more.
Okay, some people have problems with NVidia cards and KDE4. Do you use the NVidia drivers? You should, and actually I’d use the latest Beta drivers from NVidia. They are not in the Yast repos, so go to www.nvidia.com and use the installer script to install.

Nah, Personal Settings, Desktop, Screen Saver.
I agree it is a mess in KDE4
Hi
You also need to install the linux-kernel-headers and kernel-syms;
Code:
sudo zypper in linux-kernel-headers kernel-syms
Ok, I’ll try.
I don’t know if is related with the video driver or dipends by the monitor (is a wide monitor in format 16:10 and not the usual 4:3), but when I enter in CLI it’s impossibile to see the last rows of the screen so I write not seeing the text entered. The same problem was occured during the installation and in that case I used the old 17" with the standard ratio 4:3.

It’s very strange. In the driver download page I’ve performed a manually search and I’ve selected my video card with language = english (us). The file listed is:NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.07-pkg1.run with a release date of july 16, 2008, but if I check in the Supported Product List my video card is missing.
Instead, if I select language= italian (my language) the file is another:NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run with a release date of june 21, 2007 and is in the Supported Product List.
I thought: this was the problem. I’ve tried to install the newone, but at the beginning a message inform me that this driver is not support by the video card!!!
Hi
What is the id output from the command as I don’t know what your
card is. You did post it was a quadro, but the important part is the id
as the names vary so much

Sorry, I supposed you’ve seen at the beginning of post.
Nvidia Quadro2 MXR/EX/GO and this is the ID output of your command:
Hi
I think your going to have to post over in the Nvdia forum or send them
an email. Like you said it’s sending me to Version: 96.43.07, but your
PCI ID is not in the list, hence your problem
Until you can find a driver that matches the PCI ID, it won’t
work… so just use the default nv one in the meantime
