[opensuse] x.org update problems



Hi,

after the latest x.org update from the opensuse 11.1 update server, my
system is no longer able to start the Gnome Desktop. Runlevel 5 hangs the
system. x.org.log shows

[....]

and here is "exit to death".

The same xorg.conf worked flawlessly before over two years.
I did search the net for help, and found an article which told me to
install the latest nvidia driver to solve the issue. I never used this
driver on a production machine before, but I tried, and it did solve the
issue.

But I don't know why, and I'm not the X-Window specialist either.

Has anybody an idea how I could switch back to "nv"? Yes, I tried to
downgrade x.org and mesa, without success.

I have not the slightest idea what's going on here.
