Which kernel are you using, which do you think you are using?
I tried the proprietary driver for the first time last week as the nouveau driver keeps locking up every n'th suspend. Initially I got 1024x768 on my 32"/80cm monitor. Then I tried to configure it and just got a black screen after causing an unhelpful xorg.conf file to be created.
This is a Leap 15.2 system (long overdue nuke & paving a fresh install), and a little while later I realised it was running the -prempt kernel. Deleting the xorg.conf and booting from grub to the default kernel had the display spring into life at 2560x1440 without any further intervention. I'll have to give it a few days to see if the lockup after multiple suspend/wake is fixed.
I also notice the X prompt to give the disk decrypt keys for home disks is missing, so I guess there's a dependency/sequencing glitch with the proprietary driver, but simple work-around is to drop to the the virtual console where the kernel's text-mode is waiting for the passphrase.
I think the -prempt kernel was installed due to a virtualbox packaging glitch last year. I stopped digging at that point.
I am definitely running kernel-default-5.14.14.2 -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode What sort of day was it?
