No matter if they are required for your hardware or not. The reason, why they live in seperate packages is that I maintain them also in buildservice for openSUSE releases and SLES10, so I don't want to integrate them into the xorg-x11-driver-video package. You want to complain about the size? This is ridiculous. xorg-x11-driver-video-radeonhd 144k xorg-x11-driver-video-unichrome 96k ==> INVALID -- 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.

Of course both packages can be added to the same openSUSE patterns as xorg-x11-driver-video. -- 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.

yast already has support for "if the following hardware is found, install this package"

Not really. Add the NVIDIA community repo and you'll notice that none of the KMP packages will get autoselected although the information to do the autoselection *is* available (rpm -qp --supplements <pkg> --> modalias(...)). You know how these modalias entries in KMPs are generated? Please let me know.

and yast modules can also check if needed packages are installed and ask the user if they want to install the missing rpms.

Sure, we used this in the past and still use it AFAIK. And each time packages are renamed the YaST modules need to be adjusted. Well, usually nobody remembers to do it. And therefore the installation fails.

forcing all users to install (mostlikely) unneeded rpms doesnt seem like the correct solution to me.

But you don't care about more than 50 other video drivers on your system, which you do not use either. -- 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.
