If building process fails for some reason, as root, run the command "dkms install nvidia -v version", where version is the version of the driver. Non needs to reinstall packages. Regards, Francesco

You may try this repo
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Bumblebee-Project:/ nVidia:/latest/openSUSE_13.1/ dkms solution as previous one. There is a nvidia-compute package. Maybe the functionality you need, not sure, I do not use cuda. Ragards,

I tested this today by updating the kernel to the one from the OBS kernel repo. Unfortunately, on reboot I was left at the command prompt with a message that the nvidia driver was not present. I manually re-installed the nvidia drivers (from the rpms in the bumblebee repo) and have graphics back, but I thought the whole point of dkms was to sort that out automatically...
Am I missing something, do I need to activate dkms somewhere (other than installing dkms and the nvidia dkms packages, that it)?

I have the Nvidia driver from Nvidia's Website, dkms is installed, boot shows if active at least for the kernel. But I still need to manual install driver each time I change between 12.3 and 13.1 on same disk.
