the Nvidia driver needs a "patch" to compile:

HTH If nothing happens in the next week please file a bug report and assign it to Stefan<sndirsch at suse dor com> in bugzilla.
It might be helpful if you use a dedicated thread from beginning and in particular a subject which allows an easier way to identify what the mail is about.
Thanks,

I don't understand and am totally bamboozled by this.... :-( .
On my 12.1 system, where I am currently running kernel 3.2.10, I just checked the above entry in conftest.sh file, within the *run file from nVidia, and it doesn't have the above patch installed and yet I don't have ANY hassles in compiling the nVidia driver - never had since I left behind the 3.1.x kernel some many weeks ago.
So what has changed in Milestone #2 (which now has kernel 3.3.rc) and which is supposed to already have the patch applied a week or so ago (according to Stefan)?

I now have to add to the above and which is leaving me even more confused.
The patch mentioned above is to be applied INSIDE the nVidia*.run file which is obtained from nVidia directly and executing 'sh NVIDIA*.run' creates the driver. How can this help when trying to compile the driver downloaded from nVidia; and the driver which is installable from the Community Repos is #290 and which has been around for some time?

The problem comes at kernel 3.3-rc. I expected NVidia to have fixed it in 295.20 as they knew about it quite some time before 295.20 was issued. There are a number of ways to do this. "sh NVIDIA*.run --keep" when the module build fails you can e.g cd NV*/kernel, edit conftest.sh cd ..; ./nvidia-installer. Alternatively you can edit a patch file and run " ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.20.run --apply-patch patchfile" and run the newly created .run file. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
