[NTLUG:Discuss] nvidia drivers for Suse 10.3

[Steve Martindell]

OK, thanks for the response, I was following the steps on the
some webpage, I see a more detailed description at:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_1.0-2960.html
---

so I didn't "run sax2 -k" as the step following sax2 -r".
---

right now I when I reboot I get the following error log:
<snip>
nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel
NVRM: NVIDIA legacy driver not found no supported graphics card
NVRM: no NVIDIA graphics adapter probed!
         : can't find host bibgen.cac.washington.edu
         : no servers can be used, exiting
         : X server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly
         : Unable to fire up local display :0; disabling
<snip>

So is there any way to back out what I did to the kernel,
or should I just reinstall the entire suse10.3. It took me
several days just to get the cisco VPN working, so I
would like to fix this w/o reinstalling.

  thanks,
      -steve
