Do I se this wrong. If so, correct me please.
Daniel,
For Virtualbox Win7, there is nothing you enable for nvidia. Virtualbox
provides the virtualbox-guest-additions driver for Win7 that will use 2D hardware acceleration by default if present on your Host. So other than configuring your normal openSuSE display with whatever driver you are using and then loading the virtualbox-guest-additions in Win7, there isn't anything to do.
I have a win XP and a Win 10 guest. I guess they run with the graphics provide by the host (my leap 42.3). So I think (maybe I am wrong?) that when my leap 42.3 runs intel graphics, the guests will run on itle graphics too, and if 42.3 runs on nvidia, the guest will use that, too.
...
As for the odd disappearing and reappearing text (in just one window?), I
have seen driver oddness on some of my older boxes where the screen with flicker (and in some cases flash one/off momentarily ever couple of seconds), but have not had problems of that kind Leap 42 came out.
(side-note: your `rpm -e name.rpm` will not provide any output unless you
also give the `-v` option -- it just does the removal without any feedback unless there is an error)
I removed xf86-video-intel and logged out/in and some flickering still occurs :-(
I have had very good luck with both nouveau and nvidia drivers on Leap 42.
No issues at all with either. (the nouveau driver performs on-par with nvidia in all but the high-motion full-screen use, like desktop-cube in plasma or full-screen video). If you just use your box for normal coding or word processing, etc.. you won't notice any difference (but your graphics card will run cooler with nouveau).
I exactly would like to use it to edit 4k- and HD-videos. I mostly use it to edit huge photo files.
That said, the nvidia install is a simple install. Just add the nvidia repo
and use yast to select the driver you need based on your card. E.g., just add: https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/42.3/
(adjust for your Leap version)
I have this repo and there are nvidia drivers installed. Recently I removed them with Yast but then automagically new, other, nvidia packets were installed.
and fire up yast software management and select your driver. If you use yast, the drm_ issues are handled properly without you having to remove the drm_ for the kernel, etc..
Due to the many tests it is quite possible that there is kind of a mess in my installation, but I don't know how to clean it up and get it into a virgin state...
The only other thought I had was to make sure you do not have other xf86
drivers installed. It would be odd that there was a conflict, but if you have multiple drivers installed and nothing black-listed, I can see issues there. There's a lot of xf86 installed here: S | Name | Zusammenfassung | Typ ---+----------------------+---------------------------------------------- ---------+------ i+ | libXxf86misc1 | XFree86-Misc X extension library | Paket i+ | libXxf86vm1 | XFree86-VidMode X extension library | Paket i+ | libXxf86vm1-32bit | XFree86-VidMode X extension library | Paket i+ | xf86-input-evdev | Generic Linux input driver for the Xorg X server | Paket i+ | xf86-input-joystick | Joystick input driver for the Xorg X server | Paket i+ | xf86-input-keyboard | Keyboard input driver for the Xorg X server | Paket i+ | xf86-input-libinput | Libinput driver for the Xorg X server | Paket i+ | xf86-input-mouse | Mouse input driver for the Xorg X server | Paket i+ | xf86-input-synaptics | Synaptics touchpad input driver for the Xorg X server | Paket i+ | xf86-input-vmmouse | VMware Mouse input driver for the Xorg X server | Paket i+ | xf86-input-void | Null input driver for the Xorg X server | Paket i+ | xf86-input-wacom | Wacom input driver for the Xorg X server | Paket i+ | xf86-video-amdgpu | AMDGPU video driver for the Xorg X server | Paket i+ | xf86-video-fbdev | Framebuffer video driver for the Xorg X server | Paket i+ | xf86-video-vesa | Generic VESA video driver for the Xorg X server | Paket I think the mouse, touchpad etc. things are needed, no?
It also sounds like you have multiple cards in your laptop -- I don't know if you can select/disable one in the BIOS, but that would be something else to investigate.
There is no option in the BIOS to disable or select one of the cards. As much as I know there'sthe onboard intel graphics and an extra nvidia geforce GTX 960 M. In Vbox, a virtual graphics adapter is used, not the Intel or NVIDIA, at least not for the guests, AFAIK
