Installed OpenSuse 12.1 w/KDE - system freezes at graphical login

Hi,

I installed OpenSuse 12.1 on my Dell 690 (X2 dual core Xeon 2.66GHZ, 8G RAM 667 FBDIMM quad channel, 500G at striping RAID (2X 250G SATA), nVidia Quadro FX 3400).

All installation was smooth, took less than 15 minutes. But when I'm trying to login, instead of showing me the desktop computer freezes (user/password screen in fine, just desktop seem to have issues). I can move the mouse and see the cursor, but keyboard becomes stuck and even numlock does not lit.
I waited about 3 minutes but it was still stuck. I rebooted and attempted to login with root - same problem.

Help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Previously this computer ran some version of KUbuntu side by side with Windows 7 without any problems.
I have OpenSuse 12.1 on at least 4 computers, but getting this issue for the first time.

Update: I found what is the problem: display adapter drivers. When loading with generic drivers without 3D acceleration it works fine.

My display adapter is: nVidia Quadro FX 3400. I didn't think about it initially because installed another Dell Precision 690 with FX 3500 and it worked fine there.

I also found similar post in other forums when users were complaining about new driver.

I believe that updating driver to version that supports my display adapter will work fine.

Anybody knows which version of nVidia driver works good with Quadro FX 3400?

Thanks.

ataraid

ATARAID(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						ATARAID(4)

NAME

     ataraid -- software BIOS RAID

SYNOPSIS

     pseudo-device ataraid
     ld* at ataraid? vendtype ? unit ?

DESCRIPTION

     The ataraid driver provides support for BIOS-based software RAID controllers.  These are devices which have some simple support for several
     basic RAID levels (often RAID 0 and RAID 1), but which require software support to actually perform the RAID function.  The BIOS support is
     largely just to create and recognize the array so that it may be a boot device.

     The driver currently supports RAID formats from:
	   o   Adaptec HostRAID (found in Intel 6300ESB)
	   o   Intel MatrixRAID
	   o   JMicron RAID
	   o   nVidia MediaShield
	   o   Promise FastTrak
	   o   Via V-RAID (found in many VIA-based motherboards)

     Status of the logical disk as well as the disks associated with it, can be viewed through the bioctl(8) utility.

SEE ALSO

     ld(4), bioctl(8)

HISTORY

     The ataraid driver first appeared in NetBSD 2.0.

AUTHORS

     The ataraid driver was originally adapted from FreeBSD by Jason Thorpe <thorpej@NetBSD.org>.

BUGS

     Not all features of the software RAID are currently recognized or supported.  For example, the Adaptec support doesn't recognize when a RAID
     1 should be in a ``building'' state, and it does not do the right thing.

     At least part of the reason for this is that the publically-available information on these formats is quite limited.
