Whenever you go to a kernel version outside the supported repository, you need to compile the proprietary driver yourself. Not difficult. Available at Nvidia site, with instructions for openSUSE.
[sorry for the private reply; wasn't intentionally.] i'm aware of that and tried it. somewhere in the middle of the compilation process i got a message that the "kernel module cannot be built." (and yes, i have kernel sources, compiler, etc., installed. also went to init 3, so that no x-driver was running, after blacklisting the nuoevo driver & rebooting, as per isntructions.) in the meantime i've found several forum- and blog posts where people claim that the 2.6.36 kernel "does not work with prop. nvidia drivers;" they downgraded to 2.6.35, which apparently does work. i tend to believe these reports. not sure what's required, changes in the kernel or a new nvidia driver, since i know very little about these things. for now i'll just wait and watch. i can work w/o those prop. drivers, no big thing. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
