If xf86-video-nouveau is installed, try removing it to see whether or not non-FOSS software is really needed. Most installations do not use the default driver by default, because it is overridden by an optional driver that is older but usually installed as part of a pattern.

If you haven't already seen it, take a look at for additional guidance.īefore attempting to install proprietary driver, please check if you are using the default driver named "modesetting". Problems with Optimus hardware seem more common in 15.0 than 42.3, but based on other forums, Optimus trouble isn't limited to openSUSE. I have used Slackware for many years but since getting this laptop, I needed to use a newer kernel to support the UEFI booting and PCI-e setup and the stable version of slackware is just to darn old. I would prefer to keep 42.3 but I know the end is coming for this version. So, if anyone can point me in the right direction on getting nvidia to work on my XPS laptop using openSUSE 15, I would be grateful. I'm guessing these new problems are due to the use of systemd since I get this problem with all the ubuntu flavors. I would have stayed with Ubuntu but new problems arose with Ubuntu that I didn't have with openSUSE, like time zone differences between Win 10 and Ubuntu and worst, losing control of my keyboard lights, it would flick back on no matter how I tuned it off (via the BIOS). Switching between nvidia and intel was easy and seamless. Ubuntu nvidia installation was easy and had no issues. Other distros had similar video problems with exception to Ubuntu.

I have followed several iterations from the openSUSE wiki site for installing nvidia drivers (using yast, installing Bumblebee and "the hard way" of manually installing the driver), none prove fruitful, I get a frozen screen or X fails to boot at all. Because it is a Dell, I don't have the option to turn off my intel GPU in the BIOS. My laptop is a Dell equipped with an i7-7700 CPU, a nvidia geforce gtx 1050 video card and a 4k screen, I do a lot image processing using daz and gimp.

I figured the nouveau drivers may not be optimized for my laptop and considered going to nvidia full time. However, I get a bad video lag when I use openSUSE 15, files, pictures studder badly when I drag them across my screen. I don't use nvidia drivers with openSUSE 42.3 since it seems to work fine without them. I currently double boot 42.3 with windows 10. I need assiatance in getting nvidia drivers to run on my laptop using openSUSE 15.
