Comment # 12 on bug 1215981 from Stefan Dirsch

Hmm. In theory during an update a file marked as %config in RPM and edited by
yourself before should not be overwritten.

I don't think it has changed in the package itself. But you could check if
there is a  .rpmsave with a timestamp of the update.
/usr/lib/modprobe.d is the new location for packaged config files. But you can
overwrite things permanently on your system in /etc/modprobe.d using the same
filename (IIRC).

Usage of the opengpu driver is documented:

Open GPU kernel modules versus Proprietary drivers
The following article is about installing NVIDIA's Proprietary drivers. For
more information about the Open GPU kernel modules, that NVIDIA released in May
2022, read this [openSUSE Blog
article][https://sndirsch.github.io/nvidia/2022/06/07/nvidia-opengpu.html].

I doubt nvidia opengpu driver ever worked without that option. It does only on
computing cards without graphical output.
