[05-05-15 19:07]: Is there a patch for the nVidia driver 340.76 so that it can install to kernel 4.0x? Or is the problem in the latest Tumbleweed kernel?
Don't know about 340.76, but NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-349.12.run and NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-349.17.run don't have a problem on my system, Tw and kernel-desktop-4.0.0-1.1.x86_64.
Perhaps 340.76 is too old, try a newer package.
The problem is that my graphics card is the GeForce 8600 GTS. So I have to use a legacy driver. Do you think I can get away with a newer version?
Any thoughts?
You can go the the nvidia site and see if newer packages are compatible with your card. I don't have a copy of 340.76, but have 340.65. You could try installing a newer version. If it doesn't work, just reinstall 340.76 or 340.65 from me or go to: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/ and get 340.76 or whichever version suits you. I have had several packages not work and just replaced them with another. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
