I just removed nouveau and rebooted. The system seems more responsive now and top shows xorg at more normal levels. I'll have to see how it does in use.
How you removed nouveau ? it is part of the kernel... echo "blacklist nouveau" >> /etc/modprobe.d/99-local.conf should be enough.
As I mentioned in another note, it was listed in Software Manager. I simply deleted it by replacing the check mark with an X. The package removed was:
xorg-x11-driver-video-nouveau - Accelerated Open Source driver for nVidia cards
While removing xorg-x11-driver-video-nouveau should: - remove xorg part of nouveau - blacklist kernel module nuveau - rebuild initrd without nouveau and with nvidia kernel module You can check is it the case with: lsmod | grep nouveau which will show is kernel driver nouveau still loaded. If it is then your video system most likely has no access to 3D. Actually: hwinfo --gfxcard should give you comprehensive output that has only one problem, it is verbose :) -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
