Patrick, the man said that he couldn't compile the driver when he tried. I couldn't compile the driver when I tried -- and I always compile my own driver for the kernel version, and I always get the latest drivers directly from the nVidia site.
When compiling the driver it fails because a file, nvidia-drm-ko, is missing.
Carlos mentioned a few posts before this one that there was some discussion in factory about the inability to compile the driver for 42.3.
aiui, he was referring to future and 42.3 is not released and does not have up-to-date nvidia packages available. unreleased versions seldom do. if you followed all the conversation, the nvidia prop driver is usable with some tweaking. I don't recall the exact steps atm and am not going to bother to look for them but you are welcome to. discussion was in factory, not here. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
