I don't see any material inconsistency between your last paragraph and what I wrote. The main thrust of my response was that NVidia gfxchip TW users are not stuck with nouveau
modesetting X11 driver requires nouveau, as nouveau is the only KMS driver available.
My customary procedure to enable use of the modesetting driver in 42.1 systems with NVidia gfxcards is 'zypper rm xf86-video-nouveau'. In TW, sometimes I do it the same way, and other times, use the /etc/X11/xorg_pci_ids/*.ids method provided by Egbert, avoiding its use via specification in xorg.con*. The result is Xorg.0.logs loaded with lines including the string "modeset(0)", and no lines that include the string "nouveau(0)". -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
