**try downloading the nvidia driver from nvidia

remove any nvidia stuff you have now and follow this:**

Alright so here is how to install the nvidia driver manually, in case the one in the repo doesn’t work or u just want to use the latest.

Go to Yast>Software>Software Management

Search for and install if you don't have these:

make

gcc
kernel-source

Now download the latest Nvidia driver:

Place the file in your /home/username

Now restart and at the boot screen, pause the boot by moving the down button, then move back up and clear any text in the boot arguments by holding backspace. Then just type the number: 3

At the login

Type "root" then enter and then your root password and press enter.

now type

cd /home/username

*Now remember you can use the {TAB} key to auto complete

so type:

sh NVIDIA{TAB}
and the whole file name should auto complete

eg: sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.09-pkg1.run

Follow the installer and let it compile the kernel module for you.

Say Yes to everything
Use TAB to move around
reboot

THX man; It Works lol!lol!

Just remember to keep that driver you downloaded in that location. And that after a kernel update you have to run the installer again as you just did from runlevel3

Ya Got it …
i do turn off The Xserver …
