I have added non-free contrib to sources but there does not seem to be a
package called nvidia-detect for this architecture. There is such a
package on a laptop I have but that is 64 bit.
I think the driver is this one:
https://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/driverResults.aspx/1252/en-uk
But I don't want to risk installing it from there.
Certainly I have used an nvidia driver on the PC many years ago with
opensuse but they don't support 32 bit anymore except with tumbleweed
and that doesn't include nvidia driver installation.
