Maybe I'll hold off a bit rolling Leap out to my users?
Are they all Nouveau users?
They are mostly Nvidia equipped, maybe one or two Intel. We usually use the proprietary Nvidia drivers if for no other reason than they control the fans. I forgot to mention that I used the Nvidia repo on the subject Leap system. It loaded NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.96.
Maybe try another frame buffer?
Try another driver? Apparently it's little known that chip-specific Xorg video drivers have had a viable alternative for quite some time, the modeset driver built right into Xorg itself. The simplest way to test is 'zypper rm xf86-video-[ati,intel,nouveau]' and restart X. If it doesn't work, or doesn't work as well, just s/rm/in/ and rerun zypper. The only way to tell if modeset works as well or better or at all is to try and see. Not all gfxchips are supported by Xorg's modeset, but it's target audience is non-ancient chips. It's likely a waste of time to try it if the gfxchip is more than around 8-9 years old, or not as old as 42.1 is itself minus around 4-6 months. If pressed by poor performance, 42.1 can be upgraded to the more current Xorg version in BS for newer gfxchips.
