I downloaded the 960 driver from Nvidia but the instructions said I have to be in text only with no xserver. I spent a few evenings on that problem with Mint. Most forum suggestions seemed very old and useless for the current Mint. The one that finally worked was to tamper with /etc/default/grub, changing three lines so now it boots and stays in text mode and I can run startx if I want to.
I see from this list that systemd has changed the runlevel concept and now the method for SuSE (if I understand correctly) is systemctl set-default multi-user.target Is this correct? Is YaST System->Boot Loader->Boot Loader Options just another way to accomplish that?
The procedure for openSUSE is the same as always. Yes, there are new methods, but the old one also works and will work, so most of those old advices will work. Do: log out from graphical session. Press keys simultaneously: ctrl-alt-f1 to switch to a text console (press ctrl-alt-f7 to return to graphics if you wish). Login there (TTY 1) as root. Type "init 3" and enter. There you are, graphics mode killed, you can now install the nvidia driver. Run "startx" to try. Type "init 5" to start graphics mode again. Same as has been for decades. Notice that if you search "nvidia" on our wiki you will find a link with the correct instructions. Read that before asking ;-) Do not modify grub settings to do this. That is a permanent change, you only need a change for the current session. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
