So after fresh install i installed Nvidia drivers using Nvidia the hard way page. And as i understand they are installed correctly, besause nvidia-smi works fine and shows info. But my HDMI in laptop isn’t working. As i understand HDMI don’t work with Intel driver due to intel driver open source nature, or my HDMI output isn’t wired to it. Monitor is fine, works with another laptop(on windows) with same cord.
Can somebody help me debug this issue? At least where to look for solution.
My laptop specs:
Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20250108
nvidia-smi output inxi -Gxxx lsmod | grep nvidia hwinfo --gfxcard

@emberman what is the output from switcherooctl list did you enable the switcherooctl service etc?
eg.;
systemctl status switcheroo-control.service

Also can you show the output from;

I edited previous reply, so inxi is there.
emberman:
failed: nvidia
You need to figure that out failed… looks more like plasma related…
With intel/nvidia I add to my kernel boot options fbdev=1 nosimplefb=1
I also specify Nvidia only for vulkan with;
cat /etc/environment
## Nvidia Quadro T400
MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT="10de:1fb2"
And also use the open driver with the following config;
cat /etc/modprobe.d/50-nvidia-t400.conf
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
##Power Management
options nvidia NVreg_DynamicPowerManagement=0x02
options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1
## Enable the PAT feature
options nvidia NVreg_UsePageAttributeTable=1
i will try these options and will look what i got. Thanks
@emberman if you add anything in modprobe.d, you need to rebuild initrd with dracut -f --regenerate-all
Also i checked that i don’t have any nvidia service in systemctl list-units --all. It shouldn’t be like that if understand correctly.
Hello @emberman ,
As a newbie myself, I had a similar problem with my openSUSE installation today. My 2nd BenQ monitor wasn’t even visible in xrandr or similar programs.Here’s what I’ve managed to do:
I began tweaking with NVIDIA drivers I’ve had on my machine. I’ve uninstalled all pre-installed 32bit NVIDIA packages. Result: my Xfce desktop stopped working after reboot and only openSUSE console was available/visible. So don’t do it . Reverted changes by installing again. Everything went back to normal after rebooting.
Then I began checking on YaST if there were any NVIDIA drivers missing. I’ve found these two: nvidia-drivers-G06 and nvidia-drivers-minimal-G06 and installed them.
After my installation my monitor began working. According to their description, these are meta packages for full installations .
My NVIDIA drivers list is now like this:
Hope this helps!

According to his inxi output, OP would need
MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT="10de:25ec"
instead for his
NVIDIA GA107BM / GN20-P0-R-K2 [GeForce RTX 3050 6GB Laptop GPU]
@mrmazda Yes, that would be correct
Hi! Thanks for your suggestions, but i am trying to install more recent version of drivers. They aren’t available in suse repo. So i downloaded .run file from nvidia to install it myself. Opensuse wiki is helpful, but after install there aren’t any relevant info on common problems, and ways to fix my problem.

Thanks, your suggestion worked to enable my hdmi screen. But the thing is it works on ~40FPS. As i understand it’s because multi monitor VRR isn’t fixed on nvidia’s side. Correct?
Thanks @malcolmlewis

The driver package list from this particular user you are refering to, seems complete.
