Nvidia G03 for Leap 15.2

[rektal]

Will there be support for nvidia G03 drivers?
When I visited https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/15.2/x86_64/ there is no longer support for older graphics.

Maybe the 340 drivers are not building anymore with kernel 5.3.x in Leap 15.2?

Download G03 packages from https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/15.1/x86_64/ ant try to install them.
Maybe will work.
Same with G02 packages from https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/42.3/x86_64/ .

Hint: you will need instruments to compile drivers.

Hi
Leap has the 5.3.x kernel, G03 support was dropped awhile ago now, I gave up with a GT8800 awhile back, if it's not a laptop, consider an upgrade, I use cheap cards here GT710's

There are probably patches on the nvidia forums, but that will mean patching the run file (it's not bad if have the patches) and installing the hardway.

Thank you.

I think that lack of support is due 5.3.x kernel on Leap 15.2. I have got old graphics and use nvidia G03 drivers on Leap 15.1.
Maybe it is time to change Leap for Tumbleweed or just use future Leap 15.2 on default graphic drivers.

Nvidia drops support for a G03 hardware.
There is no G03 drivers for a TW: https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed/x86_64/ .

You may use nouveau drivers.
Or get new hardware. Nvidia's Kepler family will have support for ~2 years.

Hint: GT 1030 has no CUDA support.
Consider to use AMD graphics - it is good for an ordinary use (no CUDA).

Did you manage to make it work properly?
I have just upgraded to 15.2 and G03 stopped working (I have ASUSTeK EN210 SILENT which is NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210])
I have installed nouveau, but It does not work very well, so I'm thinking on fixing the issue or dawngrading to 15.1 again (if possible).

best regards

When you use Kmail its no good idea of downgrading. there was a change in the database.

Hi
It's working, help a user on IRC the other day get his 8400M up and running on Leap 15.2... install the hard way with the 5.7 patched driver installer at the following link;

if installed that way, it will be necesary to redo it everytime the kernel changes, true?
