I have done a fresh install (Plasma desktop) as I’d really like to switch to opensuse tumbleweed. However, I seem to have problems with multi-seat which is essential for me. The problem is that once I’ve installed the nvidia drivers for my GT710 graphics card (used for seat0), on booting I get a black screen on seat0. It works ok with the nouveau drivers but they are really slow. I’d be really grateful for some help! I don’t think it’s related specifically to Plasma as about a month ago I tried the same using the xfce version of opensuse and the same thing happened.
At present I use Mint 21.3 which works ok on multiseat either using lightdm or sddm.
I will upload various files shortly. Many thanks for any help!
@jamaggs Hi and welcome to the Forum
So this is dual graphics setup as I see i915? What nvidia driver is installed? Can you show the output from inxi -Gxxz
Hello thanks for the quick reply. It’s the nvidia G05 driver from the repos. Yes it’s a dual card setup and I assign the cards using “loginctl attach” as per the seatstatus output. It works fine without multiseat but multiseat triggers the black screen. One card for seat 0 is nvidia gt710 and the other is just the onboard intel graphics used for seat 1.
I will paste the output of that command later when I’m back home.
The above looks a bit odd to me as the nvidia card doesn’t seem to be reporting a driver but I was running it from seat1 when the nvidia seat0 screen was black. If I completely disable multiseat by running “loginctl flushdevices” and then run it this is what I get:
Hello, thanks again for the quick replies. suse-prime was already installed. I intsalled bbswitch but it has made no different to the black screen and the driver is still n/a when multi-seat is enabled for the nvidia card.
