The only solution is not to install the updated kernel. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

However I will try to explain differently. When you look on ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.0/ you find the NVIDIA repository for openSUSE 11.0. One directory higher you find a README that tells that the content is maintained by Novell/SUSE. Looking in the directory i586 and x86_64 you will see rpm's with names in which the kernel version is present. The one I use currently is nvidia-gfx-kmp-default-96.43.07_2.6.25.11_0.1-0.1.x86_64.rpm, so this is for kernel version 2.6.25.11-0.1. However I need 2.6.25.18-0.2 for the newest kernel. So apparently in your procedure to build and distribute a new kernel updating the NVDIA driver is not present. Apparently the current NVIDIA driver depends on the now old kernel version, so YaST gives me the choice to delete the NVIDIA driver package or not to install the new kernel. So the problem is there for all kernel flavours and all architectures and for me this reduces to default and x86_64. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

See also the attachment with the screenshot. Offered solutions are: to deinstall x11-video-nvidiaG01-193.14.12-0.1.x86_64 to not install the new version of the kernel to ignore the dependancy from xvid -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Also the 2.6.25.5 kernel is very old. The 2.6.25.18-0.2 is the current kernel and has been confirmed working with NVIDIA cards (I personally use it with x86_64, just like your system). Try deinstalling xvid, and upgrading to 2.6.25.18-0.2. The KMP will continue to work with it (as sndirsch said). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
