Purge the Nvidia drivers and reinstall them completely. Generate an xorg.conf with nvidia-xconfig and move it from /etc to /etc/X11.
Reboot normally and your login manager should appear, with the loaded Nvidia module.  |
Ok, uninstalled the nouveau driver package, removed any other nvidia RPM that yast listed, ran the .run package with --uninstall to clear out those drivers. Rebooted. Ran the .run for the 256.35 drivers and installed them. Rebooted.
Same errors with startx and in the kernel log.

BTW, while it is in the log quotes above, I wanted to specifically point out that this is all with a 64-bit kernel and drivers.
