Hi,
I updated the kernel in leap 15.5 to 6.3.7 stable version. After updating now nvidia driver is not working. Only showing 800x600 resolution on one monitor.
I checked the driver in Yast panel they all installed. Do I need to install something else.
Any clue how to fix this.
Thanks
How do you install the nvidia drivers?
Please post:
zypper lr -d
zypper se -si nvidia kernel
uname -a
With previous kernel I installed through yast interface.

@rhussain because the nvidia rpms for Leap 15.5 are not built for the 6.3.7 kernel… install the hardway, eg run file and rebuild.
Question is, why the 6.3.7 kernel?
NVIDIA RPMs are not built for kernel - driver is compiled during installation.
I suspect that reinstalling NVIDIA packages will work as well.
I was getting the error and my screen froze with the following error message. Kwin window manager desktop effect were restarted due to graphics rest. I thought upgrading kernel might fix that issue with my graphic card.
