We install openSUSE from our own image made with KIWI. We always have the nvidia driver repo enabled when we make these images so the nvidia driver is always there from the start. I suspect that you had the nouveau driver, which is the default one gets with openSUSE. This is because nvidia will not let distros distribute their drivers. So there is always the step you did to get theis drivers. I cannot see the benefit to nvidia for making this be the way it is.
PCLOS has nvidia drivers in the repo. One line (of four) from Synaptic reads: "dkms-nvidia173 nonfree 173.14.37-1pclos20 8208 kB ... NVIDIA kernel module for GeForce FX based cards" Don't know what other distros do, but NVidia seems to have let PCLOS distribute drivers. --doug -- Blessed are the peacemakers..for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.Greeley -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
