Yeaaaars ago I reported a bug at NVIDIA re. nvidia-settings and xorg.conf ( which has been deprecated and replaced by xorg.conf.d ), others did too, bugs were all denied. That would not have been an issue if nvidia-settings would generate a proper xorg.conf which it hardly ever does. And, not only on openSUSE, I've seen reports for many other distros. Same for the nvidia- xconfig utility
I have to admit, I have not had any problems on Ubuntu since when I was using an ancient (turn-of-the-century) TNT Riva 2 card which wanted an older glibc than came as standard. And I got that working. My old, now-sold-on huge Toshiba Satellite Pro P300A desktop-replacement laptop had a 17" LCD -- yes really -- with some ancient ATI GPU that ATI stopped supporting in 2012. It got a bit flakey around Ubuntu 12.04-02, the LTS where x.org got too new for the ancient fglrx driver, but by 2013, the FOSS radeon driver was fine and everything started working again -- even Mir. So it's fair to say I've _never_ had problems like I'm having with this bally Dell and the latest releases of openSUSE! :'( -- Liam Proven - Technical Writer, SUSE Linux s.r.o.
