I noticed nvidia module went no uploaded by kernel. I had to hack /etc/X11/xorg.conf replacing "nvidia" with "nv" in Section "Device" but doing so I miss compiz functionality.

Where to get the older drivers?

The proprietary nvidia drivers are at ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/ The 11.3 repo is now up. You can also try the "nouveau" driver now bundled with the kernel. Thanks, but I need the drivers for my 11.2 and I have not found older versions on such URL.

The bad of the story is that who is managing these updates should at least test it before to uploading on public repos [IMHO].

They appear to have 3 versions available for download in the 11.2 directory.

None of those will work? Or do I misunderstand the naming convention?

Greg,

Versions depend upon Nvidia card you have installed. In my case since my laptop has a GeForce Go 6150, I have to rely on:

nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop-195.36.31_2.6.31.5_0.1-11.1.x86_64 x11-video-nvidiaG02-195.36.31-12.1.x86_64

See U,

Updating right now Nvidia drivers to: x11-video-nvidiaG02-256.35-15.1.x86_64.rpm and nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop-256.35_2.6.31.5_0.1-14.1 I guess this will fails again, since kernel version (installed) is 2.6.31.12-0-2-desktop So now the question is: WHY on earth nvidia-kmp is updated for older kernel version?
