I just upgraded a machine to Leap 15.2 only
to discover that apparently openSUSE has dropped support for the
nvidia 340 driver; it is not in the 15.2 nvidia repo. Yet
according to nvidia, the driver supports the 5.3 kernel. The card
is a 9800GTX+ - yes it's old but it still works quite well on
15.1.
Can anyone confirm that dropping support for this driver version
is intentional, although it is still available for download from
nvidia? Since it is not in the repo, I suspect that the download
(aka "hard way") version will have the same issue, too. (And
besides, I really really don't want to get on the re-installation
merry-go-round.)
I'd like to know before just assuming nouveau is my best (only)
option with this card.
TIA,
