A question Larry: with the appropriate wording changes, will your patch also work on the 32-bit version of the nVidia driver? I have applied other patches for the driver and the driver just will not compile in the stock-standard installation of MS #2 from the KDE LIVE 'CD' on my 32-bit system.

The patch should work on both 32- and 64-bit systems. I must admit that I only used with x86_64, but it only patches the shell script that gets the configuration.

Once you have applied the patch, a second attempt will see that the change has been made, and then yield the "Assume -R" message. Use 'man patch' to see what that means.

To keep people informed, I did as Larry asked and I have now contacted him privately and sent 2 files possibly showing where the failure to patch the nVidia driver occurred. Just out of interest, the *.run file was patched, at least partially, and I tried to install the driver and this time it actually got someway in behaving the way it has in the past (ie, to compile) but then struck something it didn't like and aborted.

Others have pointed out the fix, but note, as always, if you use Tumbleweed, and the nvidia binary driver, you really are on your own, and need to know what you are doing. best of luck, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Thank you, Chris, for posting the above URL. After DAYS of trying to apply the nVidia driver to my MS #2 installation I finally succeeded. But, I had to re-install the BASIC - without ANY updates - Milestone #2 (32-bit) before I could do it and I had to do it with the executable script file given in that URL. The latest nVidia driver - 295.33 - does NOT install as it did in the past even though it contains the patch for the 3.3 kernel. One first needs to download the kernel-source and install 'make' and 'gcc' before running that script. BC -- Wife sent me to the doctor to get the pills for me to have an erection.
