The video card has 2 DVI ports and I have identical monitors connected to each port. On the 15.0 system with the nvidia driver both are 1600x1200 resolution and I can drag and drop things to either monitor. On the 15.1 system using nouveau whatever is one one screen is also on the other and cannot move the mouse between the 2 monitors. ... My version of inxi does not support the -a option. I am using the monitors side by side. On the 15.0 system with the nvidia driver

Drivers fbdev,nouveau and resolution 1280x1024 suggest to me the -a option would point out the root of your problem as nomodeset on your grub kernel cmdline, an unneeded, undesirable carryover from installation, where it's often needed to succeed to have the openSUSE installer run in graphics mode, a WONTFIX bug: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1110041 If I'm right you might want to comment in that bug. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.
