Hello- I’m completely new to Linux and have just completed my first installation. Everything is working, but my first challenge is that only one of my monitors has an image, and it’s stuck in 640x480 instead of 3440x1920.

I installed openSUSE Leap 15.6 with KDE plasma. Processor is a Ryzen 3700x with an NVIDIA 4090 GPU.

I tried to troubleshoot as best as I could, but didn’t get very far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you installed the Nvidia drivers? Unlike AMD and Intel, the drivers for Nvidia aren’t included by default (because their code is closed source), so you’ll have to install them before your graphics will work.

    Unfortunately, OpenSUSE doesn’t offer an easy way to do this. You can follow this guide:

    https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers

    It’s a bit hard, but if you have trouble, you can ask here. Good luck!

      This did it! Thank you! I actually found this page and did the first half, not realizing there was more. I’m not confident I installed the exact correct driver, but I have dual screens in the proper resolution. This should get me by while I troubleshoot everything else.

      Thanks again!
