Is it possible to have the NVIDIA driver packaged for Factory? Now that it is a rolling version there seems to be a growing interest by users on it. But I read frequently that users won't install Factory because this driver isn't available (AFAIK). I myself am using Factory in a netbook with Intel graphics and I would like to use it in my desktop too but I don't want to be reinstalling the driver on every kernel update.
If packaging the driver isn't an option, is there an automatized way to have the driver working after kernel upgrades?
I found that after a kernel upgrade I got a working driver rpm again with this script: #osc co X11:Drivers:Video/nvidia-gfxG03 # only needed once cd X11:Drivers:Video/nvidia-gfxG03 ls NVIDIA-Linux-*.run || osc service dr osc build openSUSE_Factory not quite as comfortable as a ready-to-use repo (which might violate copyrights of Nvidia or Linux) but better than nothing Ciao Bernhard M. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
