Nomodeset needs to be purged from your boot process (/etc/default/grub and /boot/grub2/grub.cfg):
I am actually manually adding it at boot time. If I don't I won't even get a GUI login screen.
Historically, disabling KMS is a required component of NVidia driver installation. Have you attempted NVidia installation on 15.1?
Ya, that is where this all started. Using the NVIDIA on 15.1 I get no GUI login screen and this in my xorg.0.log file:
[ 21.746] ================ WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING ================ [ 21.746] This server has a video driver ABI version of 24.0 that this driver does not officially support. Please check http://www.nvidia.com/ for driver updates or downgrade to an X server with a supported driver ABI. [ 21.746] ================================================================= [ 21.746] (EE) NVIDIA: Use the -ignoreABI option to override this check.
It ends up not using nvidia or nouveau. Vesa maybe I think.
When I create /etc/X11/00-conf.conf with these contents:
Section "ServerFlags" Option "ignoreABI" "true" EndSection
The Xorg.0.log file indicates it will use nvidia but I don't even get a login screen. So there must be real incompatibilities between the nvidia-304.137 package and the version of X on 15.1.
Do you get a usable screen if you leave off nomodeset and add plymouth.enable=0 or noplymouth or plymouth=0?
No, I do not. Not even a gui login screen
I don't understand why when using nouveau I can't have both monitors working properly with this video card. That's all I want. Don't care about openGL or nvidia. I just want to use 15.1 without having to purchase a new video card. Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
