At the end of http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Bugreport_X it tells how to test the latest X11. In addition to specifying the latest X in:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_XX.X/
it suggests using the latest kernel in:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_XX.X/
In my setup, I have only been using the X repo to get new X versions. Even though these are happy to install with the kernel I have, could this be a cause of some issues I am seeing with nvidia? Does everyone else who uses the X repo above also use the Kernel repo above? In my case, XX.X is 11.2.
FWIW: i have been using the combo of repos X11 & Kernel:/HEAD for a long time on 11.3, after i found that Xorg was using much to much CPU resources otherwise (up to 50%). after switching to oS factory and then 11.4, i was using the standard repos at first, but Xorg came up to 20+% again. at first i switched only to X11, which didn't help much, then i added the Kernel:/stable repo, because HEAD was having some difficulties att the time (not long ago), according to the factory mailing list i think. i find that the combination of X11 & Kernel:/stable works as well as X11 & Kernel:/HEAD used to on 11.3. these are all subjective impressions, of course, using plasma widgets & htop, no serious performance checking. still, the impression is strong that there's much better performance using X11 & better-than-standard kernel. eventually i'm planning to switch to Kernel:/HEAD again. while using it on 11.3, for several months, i didn't experience one crash due to kernel or X11 repos. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
