Hi List,
I have been running 12.1 on 64 bit for a while. My graphics card is a GeForce GTX470 and I have been using the nouveau driver without any problems for months.
The other day I tried to install the nvidia driver with the result that the plasma desktop became unstable (bombs to black screen after a while). I tried a couple of the older drivers as well with the same symptoms.
I have since tried to recover from this situation and revert back to the nouveau driver, however, with limited success. I was able to uninstall the nvidia driver and remove the blacklisting for nouveau. I also had to remove my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file in order to get the X server to come back up but it does so in 1280x1024 instead of 1920x1080 which is my native screen resolution. Basically, the screen looks like what comes up in failsafe mode.
What am I missing? How do I get the higher resolution back? Is there a way to rerun the hardware test scripts that determine the correct settings upon an initial install? I would hate to have to reinstall from scratch.
Thanks in advance for any pointers, Alex.
I think that you need to provide some additional information such as: which kernel are you using (number and type: Default or Desktop or.....)? which KDE version are you using? which nVidia driver DID you try to install (driver number, like 285 or 290 or.....) and from where did you try to install it: from nVidia site and compile it or from the openSUSE nVidia repo? and, lastly, if it was all working for you why did you break it by trying to install the nVidia driver?
