... In each case you got to recompile on kernel updates when introducing new official kernel versions, probably it is also recommended to recompile the drivers on updates of Xorg (ABI) or gcc, isn't it? Not so much for stable releases, but for Tumbleweed this is real subject.
Depends on which kernel functions change and if the nvidia blob uses these.
Most people won't know before booting :-) I prefer the safe way.

3. Uninstalling the binary driver restores nouveau without further steps (including removing nouveau from the blacklist).
I don't know if the blob replaces its own libGLX.so with the Mesa one while uninstalling. Way back it had problems to do so for me.
This is where Knurpht is totally right anyway and I forgot to mention: After uninstalling nvidia using the installer Mesa has to be updated/reinstalled, because it has been most probably updated in the meantime, too, thus cannot be restored from an earlier backup. But this is again the safe way, the system should be in sync with the main repository after that (restoring the blacklist, mkinitrd is done by the uninstaller). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
