Section "The easy way" warning in the blue box.

I just moved warning before any version related information as it is
valid for all versions, present and future. Sometimes, to satisfy more
improtant reasons of computer security and stability, kernel is updated
in a such way that old precompiled driver is no more compatible with new
kernel.

Actually the warning is wrong I think, because I *think* that the drivers
have been updated to match the latest secuity updates.


The http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/10.3 has
nvidia-gfxG01-kmp-default | 169.07_2.6.22.13_0.3-1.1 | i586
x11-video-nvidiaG01 | 169.07-1.1 | i586
and they are installed, but something went wrong with deinstallation of
previous (compiled the hard way) drivers, and I had to run compilation again
to get GUI.

Is that the same case in David installation?


I use file nvidia-gfx-kmp-default-1.0.9639_2.6.22.13_0.3-0.1.i586.rpm
that has updated between 13 Dec & 21 Dec and
nvidia-x11-drv-96xx-1.0.9631-1.src.rpm as I have an old card. The
drivers you state above are for newer nvidia cards. The installer
offered by nvidia that equates to the suse drivers I have is
"NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.01-pkg1.run" which I have to run in order to get
my x working again. The above suse drivers simply stop yast from
complaining.
