Are you able to reproduce this without the binary-only nvidia driver? Stefan has the nvidia driver version changed while 10.3 is out? This sound graphics driver related? Yes, it has been updated several times. 169.12 is the current version, so the reporter does no use he latest one. I just installed the 169.12 version of the nvidia driver but it doesn't changed anything. Oh, sry I forgot: with the nv driver it works. But I really need 3D programms. Is there any alternative too the nvidia driver? There's the Nouveau driver at http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/, but I don't have any idea how developed it is. We can't support the nvidia driver. A lot of time it "just works," but it's impossible for us to debug problems with it. Our support policy is to decline to diagnose bugs with closed-source drivers loaded. In this case, it's doubly so: The problem is display related and goes away without the driver loaded. My apologies, but I'm going to have to close this one as INVALID. It might be a regression of the NVIDIA driver. For openSUSE 10.3 the driver has been updated 100.14.19 --> 169.07 --> 169.09 --> 169.12 I suggest to try 169.07 and possibly 100.14.19 to figure this out (use the official NVIDIA installer for these, there are no openSUSE RPMs available). If you figure out it's a regression we can reopen the bugreport and reassign it to NVIDIA. WOW! What an Idea, Stefan! There is a regression: 100.14.19: Works fine 169.xx: Bug described as above Thank you very much! reopen. I finally decided to no longer track proprietary NVIDIA driver bugs against openSUSE. Therefore I'm closing these now as WONTFIX. In case you're using our SLES/SLED products and can reproduce this issue also on thesed products feel free to reopen. These are still tracked, since customers of these products depend on the proprietary driver for newer NVIDIA hardware. Be aware that you need a privilleged account to track anything against our SLES/SLED products. So if this not an option for you I suggest to report the problem to the official NVIDIA driver feedback channels (forum/email; see NVIDIA driver download site) and refer to this bugreport. |
