We had the same problem after upgrading to 4.1.0-7. But this has nothing to do with the bug mentioned above. There must be a serious problem, because we had some severe crashes after the xserver start. I had to reset the computer more than once. Even login from another computer was impossible. Until now I was unable to find some hints on the cause of the crashes in the logfiles. I think that the problem is not only related to nv_drv.o because I copied the module from another machine running Suse 7.2. After this I was able to start X, but there are still crashes when I stop or restart the xserver. I would like to go back to 4.1.0-6, but I don't know where to find the packages. All the servers I visited already have 4.1.0-7. Berthold Cogel
