Thus the question, since he's stuck in runlevel 3 unless booting previous kernel with proprietary NVidia already installed; accordingly, xorg.conf was created consistent with NVidia custom high DPI operation and incompatible with FOSS drivers (nv/nouveau). He wants to keep only the preferred kernel installed, zypper rm the other, and install the proprietary driver only in the remaining new kernel.
you *can* do for each kernel: sh<path-to>/NVidia.....run -a -K
So?
then you can run either w/o a problem...
He WANTS to NOT have two kernel types installed, same as me (on any normal box, only maybe more than one type short term on a test partition). The thread is about which between desktop and default to choose to remove so that future updating only updates one, wastes no HD space or download bandwidth during updating, and also so that there is no question that more than one might need NVidia drivers installed. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
