Sadly, I need to confirm it. After, 11.1 I guess, was released, I installed fresh SUSE and decided to install RPMs as I used to before, but they didn't work. I had to download the driver tarball and compile on my own. Then it started working. I don't trust their packages.
Maybe you guys needed a newer version than the packaged one, or you installed the wrong one or something else went wrong.
On irc, the wiki, forums etc. those packages are pushed hundreds of times every single day, and 98% of the time they just work(tm). The rest of the time the user has a card that's too new, or too old to be supported.
The fact that there is no easy way to install the 3d blobs on 11.3 is doing huge damage, and making openSUSE look plain ridiculous compared to the competition.
Using the same driver version with the same X.Org version under different SUSEs cannot fail without package provider's fault. Of course, it can, but I have years of experience and I know exactly what I am doing. So, have a good night, if it's night yet, where you live ;) . -- Best regards, Jakub 'Livio' Rusinek http://blog.jakubrusinek.pl/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
