Nvidia 1070

Just installed Leap yesterday with dual boot and right after the installation, i installed nvidia driver via repo. Everything seemed normal but I realized that acceleration is not working.

Looking at /var/log/Xorg.0.log, i found out that:

[b](EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X
[    33.071] (EE) NVIDIA(0):     log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X
[    33.071] (EE) NVIDIA(0):     server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX module.  If
[    33.071] (EE) NVIDIA(0):     you continue to encounter problems, Please try
[    33.071] (EE) NVIDIA(0):     reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.[/b]

When i run: sudo update-alternatives --config libglx.so

There are 2 choices for the alternative libglx.so (providing /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so).

  Selection    Path                                                        Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
  0            /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/nvidia-libglx.so   100       auto mode
  1            /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/nvidia-libglx.so   100       manual mode
* 2            /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/xorg/xorg-libglx.so       50        manual mode

Press <enter> to keep the current choice
[li], or type selection number:[/li]```


If i change ti to [b]0[/b] or [b]1[/b], after reboot KDE crashes and I got only a black screen with mouse pointer. If I change it again to option [b]2[/b], everything works normally.

Does anybody here knows how to fix it?

BTW, I'm using nvidia driver version 384.

I have the same issue with nVidia GM107M [GeForce GTX 950M] card.

At this time I haven’t found any solution yet.
I am using Tumbleweed (with latest patches and kernel), but GeForce card is still not working.

Have you already read this entry?

Yes, I did, but I have no nvidia proprietary repo in 42.3.

What’s sure is that there no loadable nvidia module in my install

when bumblebee worked (almost) perfectly with nouveau (I use optirun with ffmpeg for some days recently).

thanks

even more curious. I run mkinitrd and now bumblebee and dkms are running without problem, but

sorry for the last two messages (and this one), I was not on the thread I was thinking :frowning:
