The nvidia rpms provided have not worked reliably in the past in my experience. Downloading and manually installing nvidia driver is a better option.
Sadly, I need to confirm it. After, 11.1 I guess, was released, I installed fresh SUSE and decided to install RPMs as I used to before, but they didn't work. I had to download the driver tarball and compile on my own. Then it started working. I don't trust their packages.
Maybe you guys needed a newer version than the packaged one, or you installed the wrong one or something else went wrong. On irc, the wiki, forums etc. those packages are pushed hundreds of times every single day, and 98% of the time they just work(tm). The rest of the time the user has a card that's too new, or too old to be supported. The fact that there is no easy way to install the 3d blobs on 11.3 is doing huge damage, and making openSUSE look plain ridiculous compared to the competition. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
