Desktop computer worked OK with 13.1 and 13.22but with newly upgraded to 42.2 the screen has lower resolution. It used nvidia drivers and i added that repository after upgrade but it still persists with the low resolution. Looked at lsmod and I did not see any nvidia module. Think the hardware is nForce2
Please post the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and the list of installed nvidia packages:
rpm -qa | grep nvidia
Also, it may be interesting what exact graphics card/chip you have.
The output of “/sbin/lspci -nnk” should tell.

without cut’n’paste ot sure how! (see oter thread)…a solution via emacs…

Well, the kernel module failed to load:
And having nvidia installed, also prevents that the “proper” open source driver is used, so the system falls back to fbdev which explains the “bad” resolution.
For further help, I’d still need the other information though, especially the exact GPU.
Just one thing: if it is really an nForce2, you should remove the nvidia driver and repo completely. nForce2 is based on a GeForce4, nvidia dropped support for that something like 10 years ago.
The last driver version that supported it ceased to work in openSUSE long ago too (12.3 or even earlier), because of the newer kernel and Xorg.
Ok, this should actually be supported by the G02 (304.xx) driver.
But your installed packages are a mess… (and that’s likely the reason why the kernel module cannot be loaded)
Uninstall all kmp packages completely and install the right one (there is no kernel-desktop any more):
sudo rpm -e --nodeps nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop
sudo zypper in nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-default
Btw: it is recommended to remove the nvidia driver completely before upgrading your system to a newer distribution release, and then install it fresh. Otherwise there can be problems.
Apologies for the bad format but the organisation is hard with low res and no paste, togethe with a dodgy keybod
Sorry, I missed that in the instructions – and it worked on the othe rmachines
Anyway deepest thanks as my wife’s machine is back
Great!
