[11-08-13 18:12]: [...] Just ran into this earlier today. Have not tried it yet. i think is supposted to read --no-unified-memory. At least thats' what my installer log showed.
error I got was:
CODE -------- nvidia-linux.ko failed to build. error 1. try again using --no-unified-memory --------
I uninstalled 3.12 kernel (12.3) earlier when it would not install the Nvidia driver. I have it on 13.1 and I'll try that. If it works then I'll try on 12.3. Works for me w/"--no-unified...." on Tumbleweed, kernel-desktop-3.12.0-34.2.ge8fa6b4.x86_64 Hmmm, interesting ("But not very funny.").
I installed this kernel (from Tumbleweed) on my old 12.2 oS installation and just tried to compile the driver but it wouldn't and came up with the erro message re unified-memory.
My assumption is that there is something else which this kernel is looking for which is not present in 12.2 installation before it will compile the driver without this error message. What is it exactly which you are trying to find?
It works with the suggested parameter. sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.20.run -a --no-unified-memory

Ignore my post, Patrick, I misread your post to which I was replying. I misread your post to say that it works WITHOUT the "--no-unified-memory". Sorry about that. But somewhere, and I cannot remember where, I asked what does "no-unified-memory" mean and what affect can it have on the driver's performance?
