Xorg.0.log.old from last graphical.target attempt is at: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/~pat/Xorg.0.log.old
If you would append .txt to that, or configure Apache to type it as text/plain, people would be able to open it directly in a browser instead of having to download it first.
Since I have already advertised, I will leave it. But in the future I will try to remember. :^)
I am lost. What to do next?
Does this help?
Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Disable" EndSection
AFAIK, of those you tried, only KDE4 ever employs compositing.
Tks, but I neglected to answer that I have *no* xorg.conf. Are you suggesting that I generate one and if so, should I use nvidia-xconfig or ??
I wasn't aware that a config file had become unnecessary for X to function properly using the NVidia proprietary driver. As a normal matter of course I put that bit in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-extensions.conf, but sometimes have it in xorg.conf. I find most bling to be highly annoying, and useless overhead.

Guess I should also mention that I had the "composting" disabled in kde,
Are you sure your brain isn't composting from celbratory imbibing? I wasn't aware composting could be done with a puter. :-p
At my age, anything is possible :^)
but none of the other window-managers will open in runlevel 5, icewm, openbox(-kde) or twm.
If you mean selecting any as optional session instead of Plasma default, it sounds like KDM is what's broken. Maybe try enabling BS KDE (aka beyond Tumbleweed, to Factory), duping to it, then trying again.
My repos point to factory. Sometime past Greg KH advised moving to factory as Tw was going away, and then it was announced that factory and Tw would become the same. But my recent attempts to migrate my repos back to Tw have met with much failure :^(
Something else to try is find kdmrc and set UseTheme=false.
I will try this next and advise. tks
Does it work if you uninstall NVidia and use nouveau?
I also attempted this but was not able to achieve. Can you provide guidance. tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
