I just received word from Stefan Dirsch that the NVIDIA drivers for 13.1 are now online .
ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/13.1/ Thanks, is it possible to include a Tumbleweed repo?
Why? Tumbleweed explicitely states on <http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed> in the "Special Concerns" section: "If you have 3rd party kernel modules, Greg KH (the primary Tumbleweed maintainer) STRONGLY suggests that you not use Tumbleweed. Seriously, it's not worth the pain and extra work, unless you _really_ want to do it."
I do not expect to change his position, especially when there is closed source involved as it is the case here.
So I use Tumbleweed only on my laptops, which have Intel graphics,
A very interesting comment, Werner, could you please elaborate on this? I have a Thinkpad with Intel cpu and graphics and when I first installed 13.1 all seemed alright - until I enabled the new nVidia repo last week and the video driver was upgraded; following which I lost all Desktop Effects and at boot-up 3/4 of the Login screen Theme is missing. What is it in TW which has an affinity with Intel?
but my workstations always run on "pure" versions (including dozens of separate repos like network:samba:STABLE).
