Thanks for the chat Will. I just would try to change the repos, but
Yast2 is ill too.
With so many issues, I find it better to do a clean install of 11.3.

But for NVIDIA I haven't found good help since Sax2 was killed from
the 11.3 package.

I have before tried to install 11.3 on another HDD, but due to the
NVIDIA I couldn't get it up running
as before using Sax2. Is there now good advices on how to's ?

see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers#The_repository_way
First thing after 11.3 is installed and running - add the Nvidia repo
' zypper ar -f ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.3/ nvidia'

install the appropriate nvidia driver (x11-video-nvidiaG02 most likely)

reboot.

This automatically takes care of disabling kms, adjusting xorg
configuration, rebuilding initrd everything. Has worked flawlessly for
me on a few different system (can't say the same for ATI drivers, grrr)

Thanks for your reply. I have made a clean install of 11.3 here, and have nearly followed your
advices.
I also installed the Nvidia repo just after the install. Had a little problem there. I have used
http instead of ftp. Having changed that it worked, and a zypper refresh did the last.

Regards
Erik
