I have the nVidia repository selected, it's enabled, it refreshes itself and yet I never get an updated nvidia driver whenever the kernel is updated.
Only this morning the kernel was updated to 3.2.4 and the nVidia driver repo produced exactly zero as an update - and, as usual, had to compile the driver myself.
Strange tale, but true.....
This is to be expected, because you don't run the distribution kernel, which is 3.1.9 atm. The nVidia repository only provides modules, which are matching to the ditribution kernel. If you you do it right, you don't need to do a full driver installation after a kernel update. When you get a new .run file , use the "--extract-only option" to unpack it only. Then switch to the driver directory and run the nvidia_installer script to do a full installation first time. When a new kernel is installed, you can run ./nvidia_installer -aK -k <new kernel version> which compiles only the module for the new kernel and doesn't uninstall any old kernel modules. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
