I’d imagine this affects all CUDA and likely a good number of people upgrading because for a long time nouveau has or had been broken on previous versions of openSUSE.
For upgraders particularly, what works won’t, and what hasn’t worked must be implemented.
This might only affect some hardware and drivers. I don’t think it’s clear why nouveau before and now nVidia have problems with certain hardware… Or, at least I haven’t seen any explanation yet.
For those who are interested in the Gory Details, I’ve submitted a Bugzilla. Those who troubleshoot might be interested in the logfiles I provided and how I retrieved them. If the problem affects only certain hardware, I’m pretty sure the logfiles I provided should give them enough info about the hw I’m using. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=810022
Note that CUDA users who are affected have no recourse until a fix is implemented to use proprietary nVidia drivers
The recommended Community Multimedia Guide in the Multimedia Forums sticky will attempt to install an nVidia driver which should be declined for now. Restricted formats/12.3 - openSUSE Community Wiki

Knurpht actually, I’m wondering why it might not be required… eg the nv and nouveau drivers don’t seem to require it. But, the OP in the Forum thread was prompted to configure like I was, so I suspect that only certain drivers might still require or the driver finds something missing so wants a config file to provide it (and in this case references an unavailable module)
