I said I installed it that way already (ie before you asked to not do it that way), I’ve went to run the command but it said command not recognised (or to that effect) so went to uninstall them via yast which went OK but then realised that there was a space missing between the “-e” and “nvidia-gfx…” so did that and it said all uninstalled, rebooted the PC and it wouldn’t log in again so rebooted into recovery mode, and then checked (using your command) that those 4 packages were installed…which they were. Rebooted again. Still had to get into recovery mode so once again deleted /etc/X11/xorg.conf).
Now, clearly, the screen has gone back to the original settings (which are better but still not perfect).
/var/log/Xorg.0.log is too big to post in a single post so I’ve split it up, it is as follows:
