OpenSUSE Tumbleweed nvidia-settings "Failed to set New Fan speed"

Graphics / Linux Linux

For some reason setting fan speed with either GWE or nvidia-settings fails on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. If I run nvidia- settings with the -V switch I see no errors in the terminal when attempting to set a fan speed.

I have this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/52-nvidia.conf

Hello,

Not exactly a fix. A workaround. I installed lightdm and used yast to switch login managers from gdm to lightdm. GDM and Xorg run rootless on OpenSUSE. Good for security but annoying with nvidia’s driver and software.
