I understand that you don't want to debug third party software, such as Nvidia drivers. But I cannot simply dont't use Nvidia drivers, because I am working with two GPU-s and I need SLI. If I use an open source driver I am loosing the performace and capabilities of my hardware because there is no open source SLI driver.
That is not a good solution to do.
In other words, you are saying that you are developing OpenSUSE only for a specific hardware? And if someone has other hardware, that he has to sacrifice some hardware capabilities in order to run OpenSUSE?
I would not mind using something else instead of Nvidia drivers, I just want to get maximum performance out of my hardware capabilities.
So, as I get it, it's not possible to utilize the most modern hardware with OpenSUSE and you are not working on it?
You cannot debug anything in kernel as long as the binary-only stuff is used. A binary-only stuff hides the code and may contaminate everything in kernel. It's not about the support of the new hardware or whatever. The fact is very simple: the binary-only stuff makes debugging impossible. So, you'd need to retest without the Nvidia binary-only stuff, at least for confirming whether the problem is reproducible. If the very same problem can be seen without Nvidia, we can start analyzing more deeply. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
