It is not the RS or similar people which object. Well, they may, but that would not be a problem: openSUSE distributes many pieces of software to which they "object". It is the kernel people who object, because they say that distributing the NVidia driver kernel modules breaks the kernel license.
When I installed the NVidia drivers, I thought I got a new kernel, as I had to reboot the computer. I thought modules could be loaded without rebooting. Did I get a kernel or modules?
You can run the following (all on one line) to see if a kernel install took place at the same time driver: rpm -qa --queryformat '%{INSTALLTIME}\t%{INSTALLTIME:date}\t%{NAME}\n' | sort -g | cut -f 2- -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
