I am trying to install the proprietary drivers for an nVidia Quadro K620.
Is there anything I should know or do?
I have tried by this method:
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers
I have 2 installations on the machine, side by side. Tumbleweed and Leap 15. Both are new, clean installations.
With both, I get the same symptoms. After installation, when I reboot, I get a 1024*768 desktop on the primary monitor only. I cannot run ``nvidia-settings'' because it says there's no xorg.conf file and I am to run ``nvidia-xconfig'' as root to create one.
I do this and reboot.
Result, blank screens, flashing text cursor, nothing else.
Both distros behave identically. Both were fully updated prior to trying this.
If I use Alt-F1 to switch to vconsole 0, I can log in, remove the nvidia packages, rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf to *.old or whatever, reboot, and nouveau works again, on both monitors.
guessing but had similar. neuveau needs to be blacklisted for the nvidia drivers to work. I install the ..run file and needed to boot with nomodeset kernel param in order to install nvidia drivers. you also have a setting for the video in "yast bootloader". -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
