NVidia framebuffer console HOWTO

From openSUSE


If you encounter problems with the framebuffer console (if you switch to console with Ctrl+Alt+F* and/or the shutdown splash screen the screen gets distorted) after installing the NVidia graphics drivers then:

  • Open Yast, choose 'system'/'boot configuration'
  • Select the 'suse linux' section if it's not already done and click 'modify'
  • Place 'VGA Mode' on 'Text mode'
  • Close all and reboot.

This bug should be fixed in NVidia driver 100.14.19.
