[opensuse-xorg] openSUSE 12.3 nvidia driver for GT215 GTS 350
Hello, I'm installing the RC for 12.3 and I try to install the nvidia driver using the recommend steps described in https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers= , but no succeed. Apparently is about the check version for the repository, I supposed nvidia has to update. Using the installer downloaded directly from nvidia website, there is a issue with the kernel version. I need a light to make opensuse works with the nvidia driver. Without the nvidia driver at least in 12.2 the laptop freeze. thank you for you kindly help, appreciate any advice. -- Luis González @ GMAIL -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xorg+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-xorg+owner@opensuse.org

The newer kernels have source packages in different locations. Larry Finger has provided instructions and patches to install nvidia drivers.
