  • sudo modprobe nvidia gives the following output: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': No such device

    dmesg gives the following:

    Guess it won’t work with my card? Gonna read through that (quite massive) readme, it seems…

    P.S. Looks like everything pre-Turing does not support open drivers, and OpenSUSE did not communicate it well. Looking into ways to install proprietary driver.

    P.P.S. Wait, it gets worse! The main way to install the proprietary driver is through install-new-recommends, BUT this installs open drivers on unsupported cards! This may be a good reason for a bug report once I figure the rest out.
