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.
and what driver is that? ie: I am using the video card I got from a vendor. does that tell you what card it is?
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...
so you vent your frustration upon the people you want to help you? a good plan. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
