Oh, I don’t understand.
I’ve just logged out of my session and the login screen says ‘Wayland Plasma’.
When I clicked to see what other options were available, X11 wasn’t there.
So right now, I’m fine with ‘Wayland Plasma’
I didn’t choose X11 or anything else.
I just let the installer do its thing
And I’m also worried that I’m not seeing any updates!
On my desktop, i have today 123 updates between yesterday and now.
What is wrong ?
OK, you are running Wayland Plasma; OK, Xwayland is running; and that should be enough even for apps not yet migrated to Wayland.
Xorg does no harm, maybe it is still installed by default with KDE, or it was called in by some app, possibly linked to xwaylandvideobridge.
Don’t worry, unless you see odd behaviour 
Nothing wrong for one or two small maintenance snapshots as in the last few days…
Yes perhaps, but I compared the repositories on the laptop and the desktop: snappy is missing from the laptop
@Zlinux1 run inxi -GSaz will show all the pertinent details.

Looks good, eDP-2 is active…
You need to get to a 610 series driver…
Thanks.
610 series ?
Does this mean G08 ?
No, G07…
I use the cuda repository and dkms so the open driver auto rebuilds on a kernel update…
Ok, but for the moment all works fine.
i will not make now any changtoe that might break this new install.
Many thanks (to you and all others) for your help and patience
Hello
I had solved this problem with enable dGPU unstead DYNAMIC.
But the laptop use too much energy when using only NVIDIA card.
I have read all the posts of this thread : https://forums.opensuse.org/t/dedicated-gpu-cant-be-used/183940
but can’t find the good solution to not break the installed Tumbleweed.
Today, i have nvidia driver G7 installed and works fine.

The question now is : how to use the informations of the above named thread correctly with my installed system to be be able to enable DYNAMIC display mode in the bios.
Searched on my side and found this
Install gdm and make it as default.
Enabled DYNAMIC for display mode in the BIOS
Now that works : i can login, i have Gnome running and i can now select my graphic card for launch a game as tuxracer
BUT i can’t log into KDE.
The problem seems be with SDDM.
Switcheroo give now this and it’s correct :

Now how to have KDE un use ?
I will open a new thead for this.
