So, it needs to rebuild and install for the running kernel, but as indicated, Tumbleweed is up to 6.19.6-2 kernel…

I do use the run (MIT/GPL) file here and see;

find /usr -name nvidia.ko
/usr/lib/modules/6.19.6-2-default/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko

So what should I do?

Update your kernel and reboot. Afterwards force the reinstallation of the matching kmp

sudo zypper up kernel-default

reboot to latest kernel-default

sudo zypper in -f nvidia-open-driver-G07-signed-kmp-default

Then simply boot with this kernel and force the reinstallation of the kmp?!

Should I just zypper rm and then zypper in or is there a safer way?

The command was already shown…

sudo zypper in -f nvidia-open-driver-G07-signed-kmp-default

Thanks, it worked. I thought it was just a better way to install it.

To anyone following this thread in the future, I also had to install 32-bit drivers for most steam games to work.
