    I have posted to this list many times my problems with NVIDIA drivers on my
    SuSE Pro 9.1 system.

    The issue is the GUI / Splash / X Window system never comes up. I have
    installed the latest 7167 drivers, made a few changes to the XFree86 config
    files (mostly to do with keyboard settings). All to no avail.

    I would most like to thank Jeffrey Laramie for his help but there have been
    many others.

    Ok .. on to the question.

    I am looking at solutions. Here are some option / questions. What does the
    list think I should try and in what order???

    Upgrade to 9.3. Since I don't think this does anything to either the NVIDIA
    drivers or the XFree86 config files I doubt this would be much of a solution.
    Comments?

    Look for another, supported X Window software system, even if it not free.
    Back in my Red Hat days I used to use Accelerated X with good result. Are
    there any commercial X Window alternatives for SuSE? The idea here is for
    the $$ I would get tech support.

    Replace the graphics card on the tower. Scary as I hate hardware solutions
    and picking on that I know would work out of the box with XFree86 is
    something im clueless on. Comments??

    I will take all comments and suggestions on here.

    If anyone wants to take a stab at the problem i can upload and config / log
    files needed. I am at the end of my rope on these.

    Peace and thanks.
