Hi Guys,
Would appreciate some help :)
Running openSUSE 12.3 (3.7.10-1.16-desktop x86_64), KDE 4.11.1 desktop.
Installed the nvidia proprietary driver via YaST from the nvidia repository - rebooted - logged in - all OK.
The problem occurs on subsequent logins:
Reach the graphical login screen OK, select user, login - after around 8-9 seconds the desktop appears (so far normal) - the system then hangs for around 35 seconds before the login sound is played. During those 35sec the mouse is responsive, but if I attempt to start an application the 'bouncing cursor' is displayed (until it times out) and the application doesn't load until after the 35sec has elapsed.
A secondary problem is switching back and forth between the GUI and any other virtual terminal. From GUI on vt7 to any other vt the screen blanks for 2-3 seconds. Returning to the GUI on vt7 after 2-3 seconds the KDE panel appears but it takes another 2-3sec before the rest of the desktop appears.
This is what was installed:
Nouveau has been blacklisted:
Video card and kernel driver:
There is no old /etc/X11/xorg.conf lurking around. I have tried removing and reinstalling the nvidia driver, and tried the G02 version of the driver.
As a relative newcomer to openSUSE I'm somewhat at a loss as to know what to do... Any pointers would be appreciated.
In Xorg.0.log I noticed there are several drivers loaded (including nouvea), although they are subsequently unloaded, is that 'normal'?
The only thing I thought was perhaps(?) relevant was this from .xsession-errors
Attempted to include both log files but the forum software wasn't having it - exceeded my character count.
Thanks in advance
Regards, Paul (at the bottom of a steep learning curve)

Code:
kwin(1582) KWin::GlxBackend::present:
It seems you are using the nvidia driver without triple buffering
You must export __GL_YIELD="USLEEP" to prevent large CPU overhead on synced swaps
Preferably, enable the TripleBuffer Option in the xorg.conf Device
For this reason, the tearing prevention has been disabled.
