the nouveau driver The above is a fallacy:
1-every openSUSE kernel package "set" contains*a* nouveau module (driver) named nouveau.ko. This module is required by all NVidia GPUs that are neither older than ancient, or too new, for nouveau support, and not using NVidia's proprietary drivers. I used the term "set" above because in Leap, instead of in kernel-<type>, nouveau.ko is provided by optional package kernel-<type>-extra.
Some package it, some provide it -- either way the intent was just to make sure it's there. I'd never looked for it on opensuse specifically. I know on Arch it's a package. I looked on my TW install, and I have: libdrm_nouveau2-2.4.122-1.1.x86_64 libvdpau_nouveau-24.1.3-1699.393.pm.1.x86_64 but it's not something I explicitly installed. Good to know it's always there. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
