When I want to install “x11-video-nvidiaG01” yast tells me that it require “kernel-default from openSUSE-11.0-Updates”
Weird, it didn’t require this before when I was installing suse many times…
I know that there are new drivers now, but do I have to install that kernel?
- rozbarwinek,
that NVidia driver may require a kernel update, or you have a different kernel installed (not the default kernel).
What’s the output of “uname -r”?
If it isn’t the default kernel, you chose the wrong NVidia driver. If it is the default kernel, go for the update.

Result: “2.6.25.11-0.1-default”
But it didn’t require it before… and when I install that new kernel and select to start it in grub system crashes…
- rozbarwinek,
easiest workaround is probably to install the NVidia driver manually (my preferred method anyway, I ran into problems similar to yours with 10.3). Go to the NVidia site, download the Linux driver. Install the kernel sources, make and gcc. Open a root console,
init 3
/path/to/NVidia…pkg.run

ok, thanks for help 
Whilst this topic is up - I’ve been trying to install nvidia legacy drivers for my GeForce MX440 card.
First I tried the legacy one-click install, but it times out with "Download (curl) error for ‘http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.0/rpm/i586/kernel-default-2.6.25.11-0.1.i586.rpm’ Error code : Unrecognized error’ when trying to download the kernel RPM from Index of /update.
Then I tried to do a manual install, same thing - YAST doesn’t want to download the kernel RPM, exactly same error, exactly same URL.
I tried changing the repository URL to the following :
http://download.opensuse.org/update/rpm
http://download.opensuse.org/update/rpm/i586
but no luck.
However, should I download the kernel RPM manually, it is downloaded. 
Where do I stick the kernel RPM after downloading, and where do I go from here?

I’m used the same video card with a lot of suse versions: 9.2 … 10.2. The driver installation is very easy from konsole ( the mini how-to is posted on this page ), try it out if you have problems with YaST. It must to work with your card.
Will try that… sources are still being downloaded…
Thanks for the reply!
