...

However, I'm still willing to install the latest driver and provide anything >>which may be useful in debugging the issue. Actually, you already did this. 100.14.19, which is available for openSUSE 10.3 as RPM is the current version. I didn't know if there was anything else you wanted to help debug the driver issue as opposed to the log I gave you for the separate EDID issue.

...

I think I'd like to avoid that since my understanding is that I'd have to recompile the driver after each kernel update. Not really. There is some magic, which makes sure that the kernel module still loads as long as the update kernel is kABI compatible. Alright. That does sound a bit better than I'd imagined, although I'm still not going to bother installing an older version unless it will be helpful in providing you debug info. If it would be helpful, which of the version from the NVIDIA page (http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html) should I use and what info would you want? Would it be the AMD64 version? I have an Intel Pentium D processor and have installed the x86-64 version of openSUSE.

Therefore I'm closing these now as WONTFIX. In case you're using our SLES/SLED products and can reproduce this issue also on thesed products feel free to reopen. These are still tracked, since customers of these products depend on the proprietary driver for newer NVIDIA hardware. Be aware that you need a privilleged account to track anything against our SLES/SLED products. So if this not an option for you I suggest to report the problem to the official NVIDIA driver feedback channels (forum/email; see NVIDIA driver download site) and refer to this bugreport. -- 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.
