Systemd Unit providing a workaround

Thanks for all the effort you put into this Stephan! Given that you cannot
reproduce it I fully understand and support your decision. In fact, if my
understanding is true that your systemd does not have the NVIDIA driver in the
initrd and those running into the issue have, than I suspect this is more
related to initrd building than the driver itself anyhow.

For anybody still running into this: I am now using the nvidia-modprobe.service
files to implement an automated workaround. Just put this in
/etc/systemd/system and enable it. I included dependencies for all services in
openSUSE I know to be using the NVIDIA GPU. If you have further services
requiring it, add them to the WantedBy and Before lines.
