Installing nvidia drivers on laptop...

English Hardware

Heya,

I’m about to change the video drivers for my laptop from the nouveau & nouveau Gallium 7.8.2 to nvidia, using one of these guides:

SDB:NVIDIA drivers - openSUSE

Preferably the easy install. How should I go about the warning? It tells me I need to set ‘nomodeset’ in the kernel boot command line. I’ve found the file I should add it to, but how should I do it? with kwrite? I checked the file in question, using kwrite, and its empty. How will that influence adding that command line?

Best regards,

Daqar

You are most welcome. Enjoy openSUSE

By the way…shouldn’t I blacklist the old driver?
