Hi, I probably do some silly mistake, but I can't manage it to work. I have NVIDIA GeForce GT630M (2 GB memory, 96 CUDA cores) and I followed http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers#The_repository_way to install original drivers to be able to use full power of the chip. $ lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 630M] (rev a1)
Uh. This is Optimus technology, isn't it? Yes, it is: <http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gt-630m>. I think you need to install the butterfly package as well, as it is mentioned in <https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers#Easy_way_to_get_NVIDIA_drivers>. See also <http://bumblebee-project.org/>.
I installed the x11-video-nvidiaG02 package and run as root nvidia-xconfig, but after reboot X doesn't start. From boot log:
BTW, on the page you mentioned is nothing written about running the "nvidia-xconfig" command. I never had to do this.
nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
This is correct, it is always shown when loading the driver and has nothing to do with its function. The license taints the GPL'ed kernel (by being not open source), but it works.

This might be because of the dual video chipset in your box. I only found a russian text about it, <http://ru.opensuse.org/SDB:NVidia_Optimus>, but no translations.
I haven't try to use firmware downloaded from Nvidia's site, I'd rather use the repository. Now I'm using xorg-x11-driver-video-nouveau.
