Well, I was looking at the nvidia driver page and it recommended NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.129.run for this card. But exactly the same problems happened as with the g04 driver from opensuse rpm's.
which means that the driver might not support features that KDE uses. Educated wild guess.
I got the same reply about my nvidia card, and it results, for instance, that I can no longer install the fgfs game.
Card too old. So my next computer will have AMD cpu (because of the intel bugs) and AMD graphics.
what card, Carlos? I am still using a GTX 450 w/o any problem and heavily working graphics images, driver: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.129.run never got a msg about missing features or too old. but yes, using the "hard way" install with dkms. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

No, mine works normally with nouveau, nvidia rpm, or nvidia run thing, with correct resolution. But the rpm misses some libraries that other versions have and conflicts with others, and will not be corrected. It is a different issue than yours.
