As the title, I’m running LEAP 15.2. Initially, I accidentally installed the G04 Nvidia drivers who were working fine (including playing games), but then I noticed that they were using a really old version of the Nvidia drivers. I have an Nvidia 1070 laptop edition card, so I installed the G05 drivers while removing the G04 drivers in the same operation. Now I can’t change resolution in the System Settings, and I’m not sure what to do.
If anyone could offer some help, I would appreciate it.
Please post the result of:
/sbin/lspci -nnk | egrep -A3 "VGA|Display|3D"
When changing Nvidia driver it is best to remove the old driver, reboot, install the new driver. But maybe something else went wrong and you now are using only the basic framebuffer.
Thank you for your reply. This is the output:

Install once more, as root:

Awesome! Thank you very much. That seems to have got everything back working again.
