Hmm. In theory during an update a file marked as %config in RPM and edited by yourself before should not be overwritten.
https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~jw35/docs/rpm_config.html
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.
Yes, there is 50-nvidia-default.conf.rpmsave with date 29th September, which is *without* "options nvidia NVreg_OpenRmEnableUnsupportedGpus=1" line (not even commented out). That also brought my suspicion that it was overwritten. Also in the file before I edited it was this line commented out (it was also after the installation before I modified it to get GPU working).
/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).
It's ok if I'm supposed to make this copy (I'll do). I just wanted to point out whole problem in case of any problem/bug in the package itself.
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]. [...]
Yes, I've noticed both of them before. The blog document using this variable and I found it via the official docs. But none of them suggests to move content of /usr/lib/modprobe.d to /etc/modprobe.d (probably general approach which I should have known, but in this case it leads to a broken system). Blog also mentions pci_ids-unsupported [1] in our packaging. I wonder if there could be automation which would on package configure checked this list and enable or disable the variable.
I doubt nvidia opengpu driver ever worked without that option. It does only on computing cards without graphical output.
Interesting. This could be mentioned in the blog post. [1] https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/X11:Drivers:Video:Redesign/nvid... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
