I understand. So I would like to concentrate on the issue that the "nv" driver
does not work at all ("The PCI device [...] has a kernel module claiming it.").
Is nv unsupported now?
If unsupported, the update process shouldn't try to change nvidia to nv. At
least a hint should be shown to the user, especially as I think that a lot of
people have been using the "nvidia" driver in the past (desktop effects were
not really possible with nv, and before nouveau got enough stability and
availablity).
--- Additional information for understanding my setup ---------------
I did the following update scheme:
openSUSE 11.2 New install
openSUSE 11.3 Update
openSUSE 11.4RC2 Update
This qualfies for b)
Also I switched to nvidia driver (using nvidia-xconfig IIRC) in both 11.2 and
11.3, which qualifies for a).
I am wondering whether the latter (using the nvidia driver) is be a fairly
standard option for many users. xorg.conf would be in use then, and should be a
supported update option.
