I am currently using the 1.0.6111 driver and 2.6.8-24.11-default #1 How do I go about upgrading to version 6629? I don't see any available updates in YaST2. John

Sorry for replying to myself, I thought I should add that I do know how to download the driver and run the script, I just want to know if there is a way through YaST?

No, there isn't. YaST can only handle rpms. Sad, but if you just remember (how often have I not myself forgot...) to reinstall the driver each time you upgrade the kernel, everything should be OK. I've found it useful to keep the installation in /root together with a one-liner script which does sh NVIDIA-Linux-<CHANGE_TO_YOUR VERSION_HERE>-pkg1.run -a -q --ui=none /Lennart -- !++ !

AFAIK, it's necessary to do that *after* reboot, since the module has to be compiled for the new kernel, not for the currently running one. You probably can put that line into boot.local together with a test for the nvidia module. -- Bernd Paysan "If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself" http://www.jwdt.com/~paysan/
