Hi wolfi!
Thanks for your patience with me and my many problems !!!
Right below are the possibly most interesting lines of my /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
**
Thales:~ #** cat | grep \(EE\)
(WW) warning, **(EE)** error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
31.182] **(EE)** Failed to load /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
31.182] **(EE)** Failed to load module "glx" (loader failed, 7)
31.229] **(EE)** Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)
[FONT=arial]Especially the first (EE) line looks “promising”…

I will copy the complete Xorg.0.log file to some additional posts to follow soon (as the forum doesn’t allow me to past the complete thing).
For the installation of the nvidia driver: I just followed the description here https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers
Details:
Add nvidia repo:
- run Yast, select “Software Repositories”
- Add this repo: nvidia, URL: https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/42.3, Category: YUM
Un-install drm-kmp-default":
- Back in Yast, select “Software Management”
- now I filtered for “drm-kmp-default” and marked it for deletion
- Then “Accept” …
- Closed Yast etc. and rebooted
When the system was up again, I logged on and executed the remaining steps:
- run Yast, select “Software Management”
- View>Repositories
- select the nvidia repo
- now I checked the entry “x11-video-nvidiaG02” - which then also triggered the selection of “nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-default” and “nvidia-computeG02”
- now “Accept” …
Use the system for some days…
Then I decided to change the gfx adapter. First I needed to un-install the nvidia driver and to re-install the drm-kmp-default:
The de-installation went as follows:
- run Yast, select “Software Management”
- View>Repositories
- select the nvidia repo
- this time I tagged all installed entries “x11-video-nvidiaG02”, “nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-default” and “nvidia-computeG02” for deletion.
- now “Accept” …
- Then I re-installed the drm-kmp-default
- finally I checked that the nvidia.conf file in /etc/modprobe.d has been removed by the de-installation procedure - which was the case
- shutdown
Replacement of the gfx adapter:
- I physically replaced the nvidia gfx adapter by the radeon card
- started the PC
- logged on (Plasma 5)
- tested glxinfo and glxgears with this result:
hardy@Thales:~> glxinfo
name of display: :0
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
hardy@Thales:~> glxgears
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
hardy@Thales:~>
I did not execute “sudo mkinitrdm” explicitly. But I will do so now.
As stated on top, the complete Xorg.o.log will follow in acceptably sized parts in following posts.
