Hi,
Completely new to SUSE but would really like to have it up and running on my Lenovo ThinkPad W510 laptop with a Nvidia Quadro FX 880M graphic card and accelerated driver.
I was under the impression that it was a 1-click affair but…
If I use the repository after registering and install the nvidia-gfx-G02-kmp-default driver etc. I just ends up with a black screen after restart.
If I try to manually install the driver from Nvidia website (install gee, make, kernel-devel, install .run and nvidia-xconfig) I also end up with a black screen.
What gives? Could really use some beginners help here! 
Regards,
Nejmann
Both the methods of getting the Nvidia driver ought to work and FX 880M is on the list of cards supported by the current driver. If you open the file /usr/share/doc/packages/x11-video-nvidiaG02/html/supportedchips.html
$ firefox /usr/share/doc/packages/x11-video-nvidiaG02/html/supportedchips.html
you can check that it’s on the list for the version of the driver you have installed.
Which version of SLED are you using? If you’re not sure,
$ cat /etc/novell-release
The output of these commands might also be useful
$ rpm -qa | grep -i nvidia
$ uname -a
$ /sbin/lspci -nnk
$ grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
When posting the output of commands look for the # button in the toolbar which you can use to wrap the text in CODE tags. That improves readability.

I have a W510 and it works flawlessly with the nvidia driver.
One other thing to check is to make sure the nouveau driver is not also
loaded.
dmesg and xorg.org will tell
