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?

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.
Ok, bad plan, then. 15.1-plan? ;-) Still don't know what do do. -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer https://www.daniel-bauer.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
