Re: [opensuse] nvidia vs nouveau on 15.1

You start X server with this option. How to add this option depends on your display manager.
You may try adding
Section "ServerFlags" Options "IgnoreABI" "true" EndSection
to /etc/xorg.conf.d.
See "man xorg.conf.d".
To which file in /etc/xorg.conf.d should I add that? I find none that have a ServerFlags section.
Just create new file. Name is up to you (must have .conf extension).
I'll give it a try asap then.
Or maybe a better question might be why does the nouveau driver not support multiple screens multiple monitors?
"Screen" in X11 refers to separate video card with connected monitor. If you have single card with multiple displays, this is handled by RandR today (which is behind display/screen configuration in desktop environment). Showing "xrandr --listmonitors" with nouveau would be a good start.
With the system still running 15.0, the nvidia driver, and kernel 5.3.0 #xrandr --listmonitors Monitors: 2 0: +*DVI-I-2 1600/367x1200/275+0+0 DVI-I-2 1: +DVI-I-3 1600/367x1200/275+1600+0 DVI-I-3
With the same system running 15.1 (fresh install on test disk) using nouveau #xrandr --listmonitors xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Monitors: 1 0: +*default 1280/339x1024/271+0+0 default
...
On the 15.1 system, if I don't use nosetmode I get a gui login screen but can not get a desktop after logging in.
Without KMS xrandr output is pretty much irrelevant.
Try different desktop, XFCE or LXDE. It may be kernel, it may be your desktop. You need to find out.
If it is the kernel, then it's all of them.
In any case, if it worked with nouveau on 15.0 and does not work on 15.1 it is regression and needs bug report.
I never said it worked on 15.0 using nouveau. It works on 15.0 using nvidia. But the X11 on 15.1 complains about my nvidia revision being not supported. I've NEVER been able to have this work without the nvidia drivers. I have different nvidia cards around also. It only works right using the nvidia drivers.

This is /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d of course, my bad.
