There are people that are waiting till it is available, without installing 13.1 till it is. Others are asking, and we can only tell them to wait, or try the hard way (which not all want).
The question I have for them is..'why'? I've not used the proprietary nvidia drivers since openSUSE 12.1 and I don't miss them one bit
It's not like I'm an undemanding user either - I'm running multiple monitors, with a significant amount of 3D acceleration in the form of GNOME 3 and various games on Steam
Yes, I remember the dark days when nouveux was as useless as an inflatable dartboard on a submarine with a sunroof, but things have moved on - Are some of our users stuck in the past, or what specifics are the open source drivers missing that's causing this to be such a major concern for some of our users?

This will drive the thread to what I don't want bikeschedding. There's a number of user in forums and irc that can't get the splash correctly without going to nomodeset etc. GPU are frequently the GTX5x series from what I've seen. So until nouveau is 100% a drop in for nvidia, the need will exist. Then WE have to find a solution, preferably an openSUSE's one to those users, better than go and try another distribution. I've seen an announce that the repo will be in place ~27 November, but this will not answer my questions. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
