I just moved warning before any version related information as it is valid for all versions, present and future. Sometimes, to satisfy more improtant reasons of computer security and stability, kernel is updated in a such way that old precompiled driver is no more compatible with new kernel.
Actually the warning is wrong I think, because I *think* that the drivers have been updated to match the latest secuity updates.
The http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/10.3 has nvidia-gfxG01-kmp-default | 169.07_2.6.22.13_0.3-1.1 | i586 x11-video-nvidiaG01 | 169.07-1.1 | i586 and they are installed, but something went wrong with deinstallation of previous (compiled the hard way) drivers, and I had to run compilation again to get GUI.
Is that the same case in David installation?
I use file nvidia-gfx-kmp-default-1.0.9639_2.6.22.13_0.3-0.1.i586.rpm that has updated between 13 Dec & 21 Dec and nvidia-x11-drv-96xx-1.0.9631-1.src.rpm as I have an old card. The drivers you state above are for newer nvidia cards. The installer offered by nvidia that equates to the suse drivers I have is "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.01-pkg1.run" which I have to run in order to get my x working again. The above suse drivers simply stop yast from complaining. Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
