[Bug 476868] New: "1 click installer" installs Nvidia G02 ==> X doesn't start.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=476868 Summary: "1 click installer" installs Nvidia G02 ==> X doesn't start. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: schoppehaller@vr-web.de QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009012700 SUSE/3.0.6-1.4 Firefox/3.0.6 Trying to install Nvidia Driver for my GeForce 8400 GS via "1 Click" installs the Nvidia G02 version, which won't work under 11.0 with many cards ( https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461569 ). Under 11.1 it works with G02. Can this "1 Click" be fixed or is there a plan, that G02 will work for all cards it should?

The maintainer of the webpage where you found the 1 click install for 11.0 is a better person to complain to rather than the xorg developers. X changed quite a bit between 11.0 and 11.1 so it is unlikely that a lot of effort is going to be put into getting G02 to work for all cards on 11.0, particularly since it is a third party closed source package. In any case questions about plans for the future are better asked on the opensuse-factory mailing list not on bugzilla. I will leave this bug open in case you have more reasons this problem should be considered an openSUSE xorg bug. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

See your point!
The maintainer of the webpage where you found the 1 click install for 11.0 is a better person to complain to rather than the xorg developers.
Where can I find this maintainer? and is he the same who generates the "nvidia.ymp" file? And to whome I can assign it, because a non expierienced user is concerned about a broken system.
X changed quite a bit between 11.0 and 11.1 so it is unlikely that a lot of effort is going to be put into getting G02 to work for all cards on 11.0, particularly since it is a third party closed source package.
I'll reopen this bug and ask if it is possible to add the functionally to all cards.
In any case questions about plans for the future are better asked on the opensuse-factory mailing list not on bugzilla. I will leave this bug open in case you have more reasons this problem should be considered an openSUSE xorg bug.
Factory-ml isn't needed, because it works for 11.1 and I think it will work for 11.2 also. So feel free to close this bug Daniel -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
