Hello openSuSE list-
my question regards the correct Nvidia drivers to use with my laptop on which I very recently installed 12.3 ? The card installed is: Nvidia GeForce GTX 285M Graphics with 1GB GDDR3 Vi. The Nvidia driver installed now is: nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-desktop. Is that the right one? Also, there are some nouveau drivers. Should they be there?
If both Nvidia and nouveau drivers are loaded there is the possibility of conflict. The nouveau driver should be blacklisted. The attached text file is a procedure from the openSUSE forum regarding installing drivers from the Nvidia website.
I'm a new SuSE user but in my past Ubuntu experience this machine as always worked best with those proprietary drivers. I don't game but do have a large monitor and have found the nvidia-settings app has helped it work. That is, when I close the lid the attached DVI monitor become primary. Can't seem to make that work with the installed drivers, or without them.
Also, after I installed this driver all the fonts seem too large. Something's wrong. Can you advise?
Thanks
Reid
