Hi Takashi,

I followed your instructions and identified that the file
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nouveau.conf was not owned by any package. Here are the
steps I took:

    Inspected the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nouveau.conf and found
the following configuration:


Section "Device"
    Identifier "Nvidia Card"
    Driver "nouveau"
EndSection

Edited the file to comment out the lines forcing the use of the nouveau driver:


# Section "Device"
#     Identifier "Nvidia Card"
#     Driver "nouveau"
# EndSection

Uninstalled the xf86-video-nouveau driver again:


    sudo zypper rm xf86-video-nouveau

    Rebooted the system using the kernel 6.4.0-150600.23.7-default without any
additional settings from GRUB.

Results:

    The display now works, and I can log into XFCE successfully.
    Everything seems to be functioning correctly so far.

Is there anything else I should check or any additional logs you need? Thank
you for your guidance and support.

Best regards,

Jacopo
