Because I have this repo enabled and when I do "zypper up" and a new version of the kernel is installed, the nvidia driver from this repo does nothing - it isn't even updated during the same "zypper up" process

To avoid all this crap, I simply just install the nVidia driver using "sh NVIDIA*". Saves a lot of angst.
We had this discussion a while back, Basil. Why do you keep saying it? The whole point of kmp packages is that they don't have to be updated whenever there is a kernel update. The kernel maintains a stable binary interface, so the old driver will just keep working without having to be rebuilt. It gets linked over to the new kernel automatically so you as a user have to do exactly nothing to keep things running Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
