340.107 driver: https://www.nvidia.com/de-de/drivers/unix/linux-amd64-display-archive/ https://www.nvidia.de/Download/driverResults.aspx/135242/de
Rebuilding RPMs is rather complicated. Please start with manually installing the driver
Well, I ran into a slight problem manually installing the above nvidia-340-107 version driver with openSUSE Leap 15.1 kernel version 4.12.14. 1. I made sure to uninstall the mouveau driver from the system by using the yast software package manager and removing all mouveau software packages that were installed. 2. I even added a "blacklist mouveau" line to the /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf file before rebooting the system. 3. At the grub boot loader menu, I highlighted openSUSE Leap 15.1 with kernel 4.12.14 and pressed "E" for edit. Then I moved the cursor down to the line beginning with the word "linux" and pressed the "End" key to move the cursor to the end of the line and entered a space and the number 3 to enter into lever 3 mode. 4. I press function key "F10" to proceed to boot with this kernel 4.12.14 version. 5. I logined as root in text mode and cd /usr/src/nvidia where I had the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.107.run executable file stored. 6. I typed in sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340-107.run and pressed enter and it showed me the license agreement. After accepting it, then it prompted me to continue, which I did. However, it detected that the nouveau driver was still loaded in the system, which I checked by using lspci | grep VGA and it showed no driver loaded. 7. So I tried typing: nvidia-installer -a --add-this-kernel and pressed the enter key and it started building the kernel and modules until it got to the final process as follows: -> Error. ERROR: Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module interface. ERROR: Unable to add a precompiled kernel interface for the running kernel.
