I tried killing the x-server and re-logging back in, but it was the same.
I then tried turning the laptop off for a few seconds, but when I got back to the desktop I had artifacts on the screen! Not many, but definitely plenty of missing pixels.
I then booted into Windows and that got rid of the problem.
By compiled do you mean init 3 and ran the installer?
190.42 is the current nvidia approved driver but if the problem persists then roll back to a previous as suggested may prove usefull. You may also want to check the nvidia forums for assistance too.
A friend is having a similar issue but instead of a garbled screen and after one click install the reboot drop to a tty and fails to boot the desktop.
I’m leaning towards the driver as the issue as it is not suse specific. Any ideas on the best driver as he has an 8200 which is similar to the 1st posters card.
Possible the driver may have issue.
