Hi all,
It used to be standard practice to have Nvidia rpms ready for the release of a new openSUSE distro.
Who missed the memo for openSUSE 11.3?
Cheers!
Roman The nvidia rpms provided have not worked reliably in the past in my experience. Downloading and manually installing nvidia driver is a better option.

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.
Now I've migrated to ATI, but still have to compile on my own, as ATI fails to provide packages... It's not good to rely on hardware manufacturer...
Will this be the official decision from the top? How are distros dealing with this? And, how are we to draw new users to openSUSE with such views?
NVIDIA will be offering them for download for 11.3 again. It just takes a while to publish those RPMs.
Ciao, MArcus
For the last 4 versions, the rpms were ready on the day of the release of the official openSUSE release, except openSUSE 11.3? Cheers! Roman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
