Using xorg-x11-server-7.3-110.9 on Novell openSuSE 11.0 with
xorg-x11-driver-video-nouveau-0.10.1.20080424-15.1 and
nouveau-kmp-default-0.10.1.20080424_2.6.25.5_1.1-15.1, the screen just switches

worked.

Your xorg-x11-driver-video-nouveau and nouveau-kmp-default versions are
ancient. You appear to have nvidiafb loaded, which is almost guaranteed to
cause problems. Please get the OpenSuSE folks to make newer RPMs, or follow the
build-from-source instructions at
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/InstallNouveau , then try again without
nvidiafb loaded.

Following that, if there is still a problem, include your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
file as an attachment to the bug.
