Step back and think about this statement for a moment. Please realize
that the nvidia driver is closed source and we have absolutely _NO_
control over what they do in their code. For their driver to be
controlling the direction of the opensuse kernel seems to be exactly
backwards, right?
I understand that people get upset when their closed-source, GPL
violating driver breaks, but why not talk to the people that create that
driver instead of asking people who can't do anything about it?

this issue has to be fixed in any way, BEFORE this factory-kernel
becomes some day the official next opensuse-kernel or the official
update-kernel for opensuse11.1.
