I installed the nvida driver 390.777 in leap 15 with all updates and when I do to ter and run sudo nvidia-settings I get this error . but if I run nvidia-settings without sudo it works but I ca not save the file to xorg.conf . I would like to know to get it to work
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
ERROR: The control display is undefined; please run nvidia-settings --help for usage information.
Please post:
/sbin/lspci -nnk | grep -EiA3 'vga|3d|display'
