Whats the differences now between the nv drivers that SuSE ships with and the nvidia drivers I can download from nvidia's website? I have two systems with diamond viper 770d cards in them. I used the 7.1 nv drivers and was pretty happy. I am not terribly demanding but do play some games once in awhile.
The "nv" driver is the (2D only) nVidia driver from XFree86. The "nvidia" driver module is the proprietary nVidia driver, which also supports 3D acceleration (but is not very stable). The one on the nVidia site is a newer version than the one on 7.1. We were not allowed to offer it for download from our site and we could not include it on 7.1 due to ridicolous license terms. But the packages on the nVidia site have been created by us to fit SuSE Linux best.
