I am using openSUSE 11.1 (64 bit) with KDE4 unstable and have recently updated to nvidia 180.18. On rebooting the machine I reached the nNidia spash screen, then a little more of the opensuse boot progress-bar before being dumped back to a command-line login on tty1.
Running “startx” boots KDE as normal [though lacking functionality such as not recognising the wireless card - I’m assuming this is normal]
I’ve tried reinstalling older nvidia drivers, but this has no effect. I’ve also scanned through some posts of people who seemed to have similar problems but haven’t found a solution so far.
I also have Kubuntu installed on the same machine and have performed the driver update without problems.
And tried stepping though
su -c ‘init 3’
su -c ‘init 4’
su -c ‘init 5’
As I say, the driver doesn’t seem to be the problem, since startx gives me a working (at least from the graphics POV) desktop and the driver seems to load initially on boot.
I can’t see any obvious problems in the logs in /var/log/
…It seeems I can’t post any attachments
In my Xorg.xx.log files, the only warnings I have are of the form:
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Mode is rejected: VertRefresh (85.0 Hz) out of range
(WW) NVIDIA(0): (60.000 Hz).
And also warnings about missing fonts like so:
(WW) The directory “/usr/share/fonts/cyrillic” does not exist.
Entry deleted from font path.
Have enabled the nvidia repo and updated the nvidia drivers using yast?
After running sax2 and cofiguring the display, you should get a graphical login if you run init 5.
