I installed Suse Enterprise Desktop 12 SP2 on my Lenovo W540 computer.  
I have tried to install the NVIDIA video driver but it does not work for me.  
Have you tried?

Hi and welcome to the forum 🙂  
It’s not a dual graphics setup is it?

Can you post the output from;

```auto
/sbin/lspci -nnk | egrep -A3 "Display|3D|VGA"
```

Hi  
Ahh, OK, so it is, then you need to look at Bumblebee then;  
[https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA\_Bumblebee](https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_Bumblebee)

And use this repository;
