All, Checking this morning and the official NVidia repo has now been updated: https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed/ (G04 - G06 available, if needed G03 are in the repo posted earlier) Many thanks to those working to keep the drivers updated.
No doubt about that, 'been experiencing the disturbance in the force for like 6 months; my advice is get rid of nvidia cards. I've made 2 mistakes in my life: the 1st one was my 2nd breath, the 2nd one was my 1st nvidia card.
Especially the problems with older nVidia cards (G04) and Linux are sometimes daunting.
There were always some problems but from my point of view the almost perpetually and at times extremely slow or even timed-out downloads from the nvidia servers were unacceptable. Then with the arrival of kernel 6.10 other isues arose so I went to a used AMD card. That card crapped out and having nothing else I put back a stby nvidia. More problems. There comes a time when one just pulls the plug.
Are AMD drivers and eco system better for newer and older AMD graphic cards?
I plugged a second (also used) AMD Radeon-Hd5700 in and *it just works*, I don't really know if that's considered an older card since my familiarity with AMD gpu's is about zero.
