OpenSUSE - Tumbleweed Video Problem

[OliveiraVieira]

It might sound funny, but I installed Tumbleweed on a PC with an Nvidia GTX 1660 SUPER just for a lab experiment, and now I don't get any video from the PC until the driver is fully loaded, like in Windows. I have to wait for it to fully load before getting video. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? I'd appreciate any help. I've already reset the BIOS and flashed a version

Did you try multiple video ports?

Can you can see the bios post? Yes right?

I can't see the bios post.
I'll try on DVI, I don't have a displayport monitor to test. I'll let you know.

even with the dvi no chance, on the onboard video I can get it without any problems, I see the post and everything. In the offboard video I need to wait for it to load everything before the image appears.

I came across same issue recently on a laptop with integrated graphics, same issue just on Windows

 

The issue then was it only showed bios post thru a specific port. But it could also be that the bios is set to use integrated graphics.

 

I found this post having a similar issue:

Some bios have an option to prefer integrated graphics... I suspect you might have that enabled and the bios using that until you reach windows.

You will need to change that setting
