Nouveau driver incompatible with GEFORCE GTX750 in tumbleweed

My GeForce GTX750 gives problems with Nouveau video driver on every distro I’ve tried. Tumbleweed is the newest and actually runs, but I get a tonne of pretty serious MMIO fault messages like this:

[20683.201000] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: bus: MMIO read of 00000000 FAULT at 140c0c IBUS ]
[20683.201012] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: priv: ROP1: 142c0c badf5040 (1b408205)
[20683.201023] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: ltc: LTC0_LTS2: 236f0000

The above messages repeat about a few million times in my dmesg log in one day.

I’d like to switch to the Nvidia proprietary binary drivers. What’s the recommended way to do that in Nouveau? Just download the binary from Nvidia website and run it?

Yes you can must use the run file in Tumbelweed but that also requires you install gcc an kernel-dev for your kernel. You can install those via yast from the command line

That worked. Proprietary NVIDIA latest drivers are working great on current Tumbleweed with the nvidia GTX750.

The installer puts some modprobe tweaks in to inhibit nouveau loading as it should have done, and I believe it tells users to reboot, I believe it does not update the initrd image automatically but the Nvidia instructions do say to do that manually.
