Nvidia uninstall script failed? Not able in what way(s)?
No, uninstall of nvidia driver with script is simple, but enabling nouveau proved beyond my efforts/ability....
Maybe on any given day, but surely not on better days. I have no problem making nouveau work without having ever had nvidia installed just as easily as intel and radeon. Beyond my desire to force DPI up, nouveau on a GT8600 and a single display works entirely automatigically. Maybe my log would be useful if and when you wish to try again: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.0.log-os133-nvG84-1920x1080x120 Note that the prior boot on that machine was using intel video. I put the GT8600 in it purely to follow up here, and needed to do nothing more than boot to graphical to get it. No reconfiguring of anything was necessary for nouveau to take over from intel. Note too that the machine didn't even have Tumbleweed aka Factory on it when this thread started. It really shouldn't be hard for other mortals to get nouveau to work. If it is, people need to beat on NVidia to fix its installation and/or uninstallation routines, or better yet, make its proprietary driver entirely pointless.
I will hesitate somewhat before the more radical step of going only to oss, non-oss and update as I have considerable alterations which previously caused almost no problems. Week before Christams I tried returning to *only* Tw repos and it failed althought it is *supposed* to be equal. I now have only factory repos. Present work schedule is somewhat difficult.
FWIW in case you weren't already aware, disabling any repo can be a simple as adding or removing a character from the repo's filename in /etc/zypp/repos.d/. I don't go through the rigamarole of copy, paste, zypper ar, zypper rr or whatever. I just mc into /etc/zypp/repos.d/ and F3, F4, Shift-F3, Shift-F4 and/or FTP .repo files from LAN server or mirrors as required to change whatever needs changing. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
