As far as I could see, driver has kernel-specific parts, e.g. the last one for 11.1 was
nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-default-195.36.15_2.6.27.45_0.2-11.2.i586.rpm nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-pae-195.36.15_2.6.27.45_0.2-11.2.i586.rpm ... definitely for the kernel 2.6.27.45_0.2
Regards,
My bad, a typo caused inaccurate comparison of 11.1 and 11.2 repos. There is more to this than meets the eye. In 11.2 the 196.36.15 driver rpm suffix is 2.6.31.5_0.1-11.1. However, the current 11.2 kernel is 2.6.31.12-0.2. On my system with this kernel, under the 2.6.31.12-0.2 modules tree there is a directory named "weak-updates" in which the driver file resides (and is what is seen by modinfo); but that file is actually just a symlink to the actual driver file which is under the 2.6.31.5-0.1 tree - and that kernel is 3 versions old. So apparently *some* kernel updates require a driver reinstallation but others instead create a link to the already installed driver. I looked in the driver and kernel packages, but could not find where/how this is determined. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
