Hi,
Till now I used nvidia repositories, e.g. http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.1/ to install nvidia closed source drivers. Yesterday I noticed that repositories are not accessible any more. Today's kernel upgrade obsoleted installed nvidia driver and there is no way to re-install it except using nvidia installer. I would prefer install from repository. Above link for some reason re-directs to http://http.download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.1/ and returns "File not found". I could not see any announcement on nvidia site. Anybody sees this problem as well?

Mark,
Try: ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.1/
Thanks, ftp link works. Still looks like the repository is not updated (last update 13-Apr-2010, for previous version of kernel). Looks like I have no choice but to use binary installer.
Regards,
Hi Mark, According to the README at that site, NVIDIA only hosts the RPM-packages but it is up to Novell/SuSE to create new packages. It seems Novell is running a bit behind when it comes to creating new NVIDIA packages for openSUSE 11.3. Maybe they are busy:-) Anyway, using the NVIDIA installer is not a big deal. You only have to install some development packages and the kernel-sources and the NVIDIA installer will do the rest (as long as you are not running an active X-session). Just did it myself.
