How do you change the graphics driver with KDE Opensuse V13.1?
“nouveau” got installed and I want to try the nVidia driver
OS_Type: openSUSE 13.1 (Mantis) 64 bit
Kernel: 3.11.10-7-desktop x86_64 (64 bit)
KDE 4.11.5
Thank you.
Add the NVIDIA repo in Yast -Software Repositories
Then Yast-Software Management search for NVIDIA install the drivers
Note there are several flavors of NVIDIA packages with numbers in them like GO1,GO2,GO3 Which to use depends on which exact card/chip set you have. Which you did not tell us. :’(
Also there is one package that must match your kernel. This is normally the Desktop kernel if you have not changed it and did a standard install.
You can be sure by running
uname -r
