Turning off secureboot in asus bios is not straightforward. You delete PK key to disable secureboot and you need to backup the keys onto a usb for restore prior to the deletion. .
That took a learning time. I had to renable secureboot to get back onto windows so I could open browser to send this message. Now I need to disable secureboot again
to get back into opensuse.
I will wait a while to hear if you concur with above command list before I go back to opensuse.
Hi
Yes, just run through those three commands and leave secure boot disabled for the moment to get to openSUSE and see if resolution returns to normal, we can work on the secure boot later…
Hi
Old nvidia files present, or a config down in /etc/X11 perhaps, is the nouveau blacklisted? Not booting with nomodeset in the grub command lines? As root user run mkinitrd and reboot into newer kernel.
Hi
Not any of the nouveau packages, but should be a file down in /etc/modprobe.d
fgrep "blacklist nouveau" /etc/modprobe.d/*
/etc/modprobe.d/50-nvidia.conf:blacklist nouveau
cat /etc/modprobe.d/50-nvidia.conf
# generated by nvidia-installer
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
# Added for power management.
options nvidia "NVreg_DynamicPowerManagement=0x02"
So,
Step 1. Go back into YaST Bootloader and enable secure boot and save.
Step2. Reboot into your BIOS and enable secure boot, save and reboot into openSUSE
I did the above steps restarting secureboot in yast and also bios but now opensuse boots into same low resolution mode as before.
windows boots fine and is in high resolution.
Do you think that mkinitrd command as root would help as it seemed to before?
If worse comes to worse, I can live with high res opensuse and no windows. I really dont care about secureboot if i need to turn that off. But I would like it back as before.
I disabled secureboot in yast. I disabled secureboot in bios. Opensuse works in high res with nvidia drivers through grub loading. Windows loads fine through grub. Windows seems to run even though secureboot is still enabled in the OS.
As far as I can tell both are running fine. Only downside is no secureboot but I’ll take my chances and move on.
I thank you for your ongoing efforts. I can’t find the star to check – ref to your signature clause.
Not supposed to be personal in a forum but:
I am 80 and retired in an assisted living facility. We’ve been locked up in our room for about 8 months. If I didn’t have my computer I’d be in a mental institution.
In my early days I worked as a young engineer on the apollo program. Have done 60 years of computing mostly in unix and linux. Still messing with exoplanet data analysis and computational fluid dynamics. I’m in a bunch of computer groups.
This is what keeps me going. You’ve helped me alot.
I didnt see your messages as I was responding.
Text of file in /etc/modeprob.d is:

Dont see any blacklist in there.
I think I wont mess with it unless you think it is necessary. I am happy with where things are. Some graphics programs were complaining about grapghics drivers. Maybe that’s fixed.
News says chile wants to rebuild aracebo again. Hope I can see that.
I’d like to see BOINC distributed computing hyped more amongst opensuse people who have lots of cpu muscle. I ran covid research on 9 processors for six months for University of Washington who are developing another vaccine and said the data was useful. Right now I am running Milkyway project asteriod orbit determinations in the background.
I know a few people in the LHC/Rocket/NASA/Arecibo world from my foray into openSUSE/SUSE/Microfocus
