can't honestly recommend the system to anyone who will be doing their own install. I'm not complaining, it's still a great system once you get past the installation and switch over to the nVidia tarball driver.
Regards, Lew Just out of curiosity, why tarball and not the nVidia rpm repository?
Hi Carl,
I've seen the nVidia repository break graphics after a zypper dup. It happened to me three days ago. The blob from nVivia (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-290.10.run) fixed the problem, after uninstalling the repo RPM's and the neuvau stuff.

Thanks for humoring my curiosity, Lew. I've had that experience, too. Just, for some reason, I didn't associate their '.run' installer with the word "tarball" :-) They plant a nifty 'uninstall.sh' in the process, in case you ever choose to go back to the rpm, which I have also done. regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
