Is there a way to install Nvidia CUDA on Tumbleweed?
(The official download site https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads lists only openSUSE 13.2, SLES 11 SP4 and 2. On https://software.opensuse.org/package/cuda-8.0 there are unofficial packages from the Bumblebeed project. I have a Nvidia Geforce GTX 750, which supports H.264, but not H.265 over VDPAU.)
I tried the openSUSE 13.2 packages. They install, but it seems, that they do not work.

Greetings, Björn
Sounds like a permission issue. Make sure the nvidia-uvm module is loaded and your user is a member of the video group. Note: the GTX 750 will not support HEVC via CUDA either. GTX 750 SE (which is a newer model) does. It won’t work if vdpauinfo doesn’t show at least the HEVC_MAIN capability. CUDA only adds is 10-bit support. You don’t need to install the CUDA SDK to use the CUVID functionality that is needed for hardware decoding. Also, CUDA has known bugs. 10-bit decoding is broken in various ways (don’t expect Rec. 2020/HDR to work) and even 8-bit will not always decode correctly. Expect frame corruption, flickering, random lines of garbage at the bottom of the screen, and juddery playback because CUDA messes with the timestamps. Blame NVIDIA.
