Hi :)

nvidia-installer log file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log'
creation time: Fri Apr 23 00:50:20 2010
installer version: 1.0.7
[snip]
The compiler used to compile the kernel (gcc 4.3) does not exactly match the current compiler (gcc 4.4). The Linux 2.6 kernel module loader rejects kern el modules built with a version of gcc that does not exactly match that of t
   he compiler used to build the running kernel.
If you know what you are doing and want to ignore the gcc version check, sel ect "No" to continue installation. Otherwise, select "Yes" to abort install ation, set the CC environment variable to the name of the compiler used to c
   ompile your kernel, and restart installation.  Abort now? (Answer: No)
[snip]

IMO it's no good idea that you compiled the kernel using gcc 4.3 and then switched to gcc 4.4, but it's a good reason for the proprietary nvidia driver not to work, nevertheless it was ok, even if the quality was bad and IIUC it would be impossible to use the needed modules because of the gcc issue, when using the generated xorg.conf:

Unfortunately the resolution is including the three-digit number 640 and the vertical frequency is less than 70 Hz, but it should be 1152 x 864 at around 90 Hz. Before I try to remove the broken modules and try to solve the gcc issue, I want to know if the driver can be set up to be ok for my monitor.

I edited xorg.conf to:

Now there's no GDM, but a black screen.

See the attachments for xorg.confs that are ok on my machine. The one using the FLOSS nv driver is for 64 Studio 3.0-beta3 amd64, because building the proprietary driver didn't work, the one using the proprietary nvidia driver is for openSUSE 11.2 amd64.

Any hints are welcome! Perhaps I missed something or didn't notice a typo.

Cheers!
