Hi,
unfortunately quite working 42.3 had to be replaced with 15.1 due to end of security updates which are important to me.
Now, this system seems not to be able to handle my Nvidia GeForce GTX 460. It freezes all the time. If it doesn't freeze the desktop effects get switched off due to "restart of graphics". When I log out and in, the desktop icons spread somehow over the screen and I have to reorder them - each and every time. Bug reports are not seen, obviously.
what driver are you using and from rpm or NV...run?
From the opensuse rpm repositories.
Problem is, that this is my working computer and since two days I simply cannot work with it.
I know that Opensuse cuts functionality in each release since 13.x, but I didn't imagine that it simply would stop being usable at all.
baseless, unwarranted and inflammatory statement
Well, my laptop worked perfect with 13.x using intel/nvidia optimus. Since 42 I couldn't use the nvidia part anymore and lost all power of the Nvidia card that was in the laptop for nothing.
My desktop computer worked well with that Nvidia card with 42.3, and doesn't anymore with 15.1
Now I have two possibilities: - buy another graphics card that will maybe work a year or two until OpenSuse decides to stop working with it, too. - install another operating system.
Both possibilities are complicated. I am with openSuse since 20 years, and it has always bettered until the regression started from 13.x. I'd have to learn a new system. Windows is excluded, as it makes me sick. So could be ubuntu?
and again!
Well yes, I am heavily frustrated. It is not that I use a very exotic graphics card...
Hmmm ... I'm also using Nvidia drivers and my Laptop had similar problems but now its up and running with a local 99-local.conf below /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ There had been some changes with hybrid cards of type Intel/Nvidia which now cause that the render is Nvidia and the output is Intel based. The speed does not differ AFAICS I'll catch my 99-local.conf at home and send to you in a PM ... but note that you have to change or remove some sections to get it work with your system. Also you have to remove the auto generated configuration below /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ that is the configuration which does not belong to any package. -- "Having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section in a swimming pool." -- Edward Burr
