Not sure but Nvidia site says to use the 319.60 driver for the GTX285M. See Supported products: at Code ---------- //www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-319.60-driver.html ---------- I am not sure this board is covered by the versions in the repo. Try downloading and installing the hardway or use the following script: Code --------- http://forums.opensuse.org/blogs/jdmcdaniel3/lnvhw-load-nvidia-driver-hard-w... --------- I have used the script on both 12.3 and 13.1 and it works. I'm not sure if this version of driver needs patching. some do. Hope this helps. On Tuesday, October 08, 2013 10:58:19 AM Gmail wrote:
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?
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
