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?
It was in the second paragraph/phrase of my original post: its a Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 card.

according to rpm I have installed:
rpm -qa \*nvidia\* nvidia-gfxG04-kmp-default-390.116_k4.12.14_lp151.27-lp151.10.1.x86_64 nvidia-glG04-390.116-lp151.10.1.x86_64 x11-video-nvidiaG04-390.116-lp151.10.1.x86_64 nvidia-computeG04-390.116-lp151.10.1.x86_64
That should be support your GeForce GTX 460 grep -rs 460 /usr/share/doc/packages/x11-video-nvidiaG04/html/supportedchips.html <td>GeForce GTX 460M</td> <td>GeForce GTX 460</td> <td>GeForce GTX 460 SE</td> <td>GeForce GTX 460</td> <td>GeForce GTX 460 SE v2</td> <td>GeForce GTX 460 v2</td> <td>Quadro FX 4600</td> <td>GeForce4 MX 460</td> <td>GeForce4 460 Go</td> <td>GeForce4 Ti 4600</td> For your desktop it might help to see the kernel's messages about the nvidia device/module dmesg -T | grep -iE 'nvidia|gpu'
it is a desktop system with /only/ nvidia card, no optimus etc. i7, 24GB mem
