Start here:

http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA

That should get you going. You might also consider that there’s a
repository with the nVidio drivers and that may be an easier way to get
going.

The referenced web page tell a lot more then we can here.

Click NVIDIA Proprietary Driver and it even gives you a one click to install

click NVIDIA the Hard Way for instruction on installing the file you downloaded

It’s the same set of drivers in the SDB article - that will get you
going, just follow the instructions and you should be in good shape.

K I decided to install NVIDIA Proprietary Driver but it gave me an error

An error occurred while initializing the software repository.
Details:
nVidia Graphics Drivers: |] Valid metadata not found at specified URL(s)
History:

  • Signature verification failed for repomd.xml

Try again?

How are you trying to add repositories?

In general, it’s useful to tell us what you did, not just what the result
of what you did was. :slight_smile:

GPG keys are untrusted until you explicitly confirm them and import them. The owner is NVIDIA and can be trusted.

It is not an error. It is something you have to do.
