You have to install at least 'binutils', 'gcc', 'kernel-source', and 'make'. And I think you need 'kernel-devel' as well.
kernel-devel is needed (and perhaps kernel-{default|desktop|...|-devel, kernel-source is not.
Download the driver to your Home folder, make it executable (right click, Properties, Permissions). Then logout and kill the X server (hold Ctrl and Alt while pressing Backspace twice). Then login on the text-based shell and type: sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-270.30.run (change the file name accordingly should a newer driver be released while you read this). When the installer asks you whether it should do something for you, just select Yes. After the installation press Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot.
No need to "reboot", returning to runlevel 5, init 5, is enough. fwiw, I have had good luck with 260.19.44 but unexplained lockups with the 270.26 beta. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
