Hi.
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?
Greetings.
Usually Nvidia & Amd don't support the freshest kernel and Xorg and so they don't support Factory and other rolling distributions.
Usually or not it really depend of the state kernel & xorg. For example latest fglrx support 3.17 kernel with a patch, but not newer xorg ( bug at amd not yet solved ) ;-) -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Board, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
