Hi,
The Nvidia builds in https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed are ~3 month old for x86-64. Kernel modules do not match current 6.7 Kernel.
Sigh ... How many times is it necessary to repeat - NVIDIA drivers ARE COMPILED DURING INSTALLATION FOR THE KERNEL INSTALLED ON THE USER SYSTEM. The kernel version in the RPM version string has nothing to do with it.
A new kernel version obviously does not trigger the recompilation of nvidia modules
Well, in theory on TW it should. By a trigger script for kernel-default-devel, which rebuilds the kernel modules when updated. But things are a bit fragile on TW, so you may end up with different kernel-default and kernel-default-devel packages and therefore without recompiled kernel modules. With no kABI compatibiliy on TW probably the best would be to use DKMS instead. Sigh.
Has anyone information why they stopped building?
You did not provide any evidence that NVIDIA drivers stopped building for the current kernel.
Or whom we can contact?
What exact problem do you have?
I have a Intel/Nvidia card in my laptop, and use the nvidia card in offload mode. The external HDMI-port runs only with the nvidia card - and this is not working anymore since 6.7.x Kernel. I can switch with Fn-F7 the mode how the external monitor is connected, but I dont get a picture anymore.
If the modules are really missing (and not's a driver regression), the easiest would be to reinstall just the nvidia KMP pacakge.
