hi

first history:
installation opensuse 15.6 with nouveau: works as fine resolution is 1920x1080 with cable DVI…

after months works… but now update opensuse (normal, but i read list of update by opensuse there is MESA-driver, Kernel, new updates…for this thing i was remember maybe will issue with Nvidia…) i update opensuse … reboot system… HERE problem is start with nouveau: display is frozen (mouse is frozen) when i open video or firefox (google map globo 3D) so this is issue with nouveau with Card Nvidia (open driver)…

so now i follow installation driver CLOSE Nvidia (RUN)… i follow guide:
SDB:NVIDIA the hard way - openSUSE Wiki

installation is works, reboot nvidia is actived and nouveau is disactived… works as fine… but resolution display is 1600x900 , i can’t find 1920x1080…from setting system (kde plasma) also from Nvidia Setting there is not list “1920x1080” until there is 1600x900 …i want to know why? how i will resolve this resolution to 1920x1080 …?

did you sign the driver? usually I get asked on the next boot up to sign the driver. if you don’t sign I think you get dropped into safe low-res mode.

you can run the following command to ask you to sign the driver on the next reboot

you may need to change the path

sudo mokutil --import /usr/share/nvidia-pubkeys/MOK-nvidia-driver --root-pw

Selection to make:

Reboot PC > Enroll MOK > Continue > Yes > Root password > Reboot

4

sudo mokutil --import /usr/share/nvidia-pubkeys/MOK-nvidia-driver --root-pw

here result:
EFI variables are not supported on this system

my pc does not to ask me for sign driver…

@manuel_songokuh Hi, so the AST GPU device is part of the motherboard? If so, since not in use can you either disable or set the nvidia GPU as the Primary adaptor in the system BIOS?

I would also suggest adding nvidia.drm_nomodeset=1 to the kernel boot options.

EDIT: to kernel boot option.

8

ok, but where i will find file for add this " nvidia.drm_modset=1" ?

9

@manuel_songokuh YaST Bootloader → Kernel Parameters tab and add in the Optional Kernel Command Line Parameter and save. And it’s nvidia.drm_nomodeset=1

10

ok , now i did yast/bootloader and now reboot…i hope…a moment…

11

@manuel_songokuh And the BIOS settings?

12

nothing after reboot…now i go to bios to disable VGA by motherboard…

13

hi, i did go to bios find VGA onboard… but i see status is turn off. but i have not port VGA onboard rear my pc…

but when i go to windows with driver nvidia works as fine 1920x1080 but not in linux with driver nvidia (close, file .RUN)

plus: i set jumper: disable VGA done… but issue is same… now my display is 1600x900

what i will do…?

update:
boot grub2 i see display si correct 1920x1080, after grub2: list booting display:1920x1080… when starts KDE splash display is changed: 1600x900
…how…sigh…

14

update result vga is disabled… but same issue nothing 1920x1080…

@manuel_songokuh Do you have a xorg.conf file down in /etc/X11 or /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d?

Can you https://paste.opensuse.org/ the Xorg log from ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log

there is not this file xorg.conf

there is not this file Xorg log…

hi, nothing news to resolve my case?

(why booting grub2 has correct resolution 1920x1080, and after grub2 (list systemd,booting, init, etc…etc…) resolution is 1920x1080… instead start KDE change all set 1600x900…why?
