Hello, I still have the problem, that running the nvidia drivers crashes my system completely, so I can only do press the reset button. Not even the Num- or Shift-key are changing their LEDs any more. I have this problem quite some time now, so I don't even remember, when it started.
Some days ago I once again installed the latest driver (nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop 256.53_2.6.31.5_0.1-15.1, x86_64) for my a Gigabyte GeForce 6600 (Gigabyte) on an Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz currently running OpenSuSE Linux 2.6.31.14-0.2-default, but it still shows this behavior: launch X with the nvidia driver and the system stops. After reboot, there is nothing at all in the logs, that could help in analyzing the problem. I have no problem with the nv driver, but this one does not give me the full resolution of my display, only 1280x1024 instead of 1600x1200, that I 'd like to use.
