On most systems, the GUI can only be executed in runlevel 5. Why are you not using runlevel 5?

Not all systems use the same run levels. But a good question non the less..


This notebook uses Nvidia Optimus technology.

Which means you need something to turn the graphics card on/off. I recommend Bumblebee.

The system would have booted to init 5, but most likely the xserver hasn't started, which is why you believe it's booting to init 3.

The most likely reason for this is that you did not configure xorg.

The proprietary VGA drivers need at an absolute minimum an xorg.conf file with a device section. Try creating a simple one as follows:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Code: 
Section "Device"
        Identifier "gpu0"
        Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
Reboot.

because i switch run level 5. i install driver switching level3 and then i do not switch level 5. this is my problem. :D

i try to your said. my system reduce error count but is not open and stay init 3. :D
 
I missed ryanvade's post about bumblebee... you will need to remove the xorg.conf and you will need to install bumblebee as he suggests.
 
i think install bumblebee but i do not know install bumblebee and i do not find to search google in suse 12.2
 
Code: 
zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Bumblebee-\
Project:/nVidia:/latest/openSUSE_Factory "Bumblebee nVidia
Code: 
zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Overman79\
/openSUSE_12.2/ "Home:Overman79"
Code: 
systemctl enable bumblebeed.service
Remember to add yourself to the "bumblebee" group.
Install the "Linux kernel development" pattern in YaST
Code: 
zypper refresh && zypper install dkms-nvidia


Code: 
zypper install x11-video-nvidia \
x11-video-nvidia-devel \
nvidia-compute \
nvidia-compute-devel

Code: 
zypper install x11-video-nvidia-32bit \
x11-video-nvidia-devel-32bit \
nvidia-compute-devel-32bit
At this point, you might reboot to test that the 'nvidia' driver really is installed and running. Try
Code: 
lsmod | grep nvidia, lsmod | grep nouveau/CODE], and [CODE]glxgears
Code: 
zypper install dkms-bbswitch && zypper install bumblebee
Here's what I see at this point:
# zypper info bumblebee
... Repository: home:Overman79
Name: bumblebee
Version: 3.0.1-16.1
Arch: x86_64 ....
# zypper info dkms-bbswitch
... Repository: home:Overman79
Name: dkms-bbswitch
Version: 0.5-2.1
Arch: noarch ...
Code: 
systemctl enable bumblebeed.service && systemctl start bumblebeed.service

Reboot one more time, and try this:
# lsmod | grep nvidia
# lsmod | grep i915
i915 505525 4
drm_kms_helper 51052 1 i915
drm 272508 5 i915,drm_kms_helper
i2c_algo_bit 13413 1 i915
video 19345 1 i915
button 13906 1 i915
# lsmod | grep bbswitch
bbswitch 13708 0
# # systemctl status bumblebeed.service

Then continue with my tutorial at "Configuring Bumblebee"
