For some reason the NVIDIA repository hasn't been updated simultaneously, leaving many users (including me) with a dead X after reboot. While it's indeed not a big deal for someone experienced to cure this by installing the NVIDIA drivers manually, it could be a major inconvenience for less experienced users. With OpenSuSE being one of the best distros out there I find it simply shameful not having these repositories in sync, especially now that a whole month has passed. If the NVIDIA repository has no maintainer I could offer my help there (for at least such trivial stuff as keeping it in sync). In this particular case even a plain copy over of the old modules from 2.6.37.1 tree works fine. A better solution/workaround could be the Fedora way of storing the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-290.10.run file somewhere and adding its version check+install to boot.local. (though I have no doubt OpenSuSE community would have even better solutions at hand). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
