I've seen the instructions on the nvidia site and it looks like I need to compile a kernel. Did you find this to be true?
No, you don't. You may need to have the kernel sources installed, with configuration equal to the running kernel (make cloneconfig prepare, I think). The nvidia installer will compile a kernel module if it needs it - never the entire kernel. And not you, but "him".
I was hoping to find some YAST-like solution that might allow me to install the driver as a module. I'm avoiding the kernel route because I cannot afford (right now) to break this installation.
Check if these instructions are still here: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/XFree86/nvidia-installer-HOWTO I think I have seen it somewhere on the wiki. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
