If I remove noaccel=1 then I do get the WM but no GUI after log-in, just a solirary mouse arrow jumping about in the darknes.
There is something amiss beyond your basic driver issue. I can only speculate. Is there any chance you have on-board video on your motherboard that could have gotten enabled by default when your AMD card was removed? (or some other oddness causing the video system to fight over who is in charge?)
If I remove nomodeset I get what removing 3 does.
With the above contorsions at least I get a GUI that I can use as long as I'm not the usual user and as long as I don't want internet.
That is the best SECURITY FEATURE -- no chance of malware from a remote host :) I'd take a trip though the bios settings just to make sure there isn't anything funny that got flipped. It also wouldn't hurt to post the output of: # dmidecode to https://paste.opensuse.org You can save the output to a file with: # dmidecode > /tmp/dmidecode.txt and then upload /tmp/dmidecode.txt Also you have sddm for the display manager, what desktops do you have installed? Just KDE? What plymouth rpms are installed: $ rpm -qa | grep plymouth | sort What does $ cat /proc/cmdline show? That will add some additional information to the mix. Also double check the modules: $ lsmod | grep "nvidia\|nouveau" We will go from there. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
