What I asked as "recent" kernel is the recent *upstream* kernel. openSUSE release sticks with 3.16.x, which is quite old in comparison with the latest upstream. There is a chance that this was already fixed by the later upstream kernel, so we need to check it whether any newer kernel has the fix. As I wrote, several kernels are found in OBS repository. For example, 4.2 is found in OBS Kernel:HEAD repo, i.e. http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/ You can download the kernel from there (standard/x86_64/kernel-desktop-$VERSION*.rpm), and install it via "zypper in" command. Sometimes you might need to pass --oldpackage option to "zypper in" when you try to install an older kernel package. Also, maybe better to edit /etc/zypp/zypp.conf beforehand to allow more kernel installations. Edit the line multiversion.kernels and add last-2,last-3,last-4 there, for example. This will keep up to five old kernels instead of two.
