Hi!
Im running OpenSUSE11.1 with KDE4.22
Laptop have Nvidia Quadro 140M 512MB
Now i’ve using Nvidia v185.13 BETA
I was searching for newer version, but now i can’t find v185 at all, even if i search for Betas. Yast recommand v180 from Nvidia repo.
Is there a newer Beta out? Or what do you guys recommand?
And where did i get the v185 from :-/ ?
ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/ is where you’ll find all driver releases.Thing is, that you’ll have to install ‘by hand’.
Weird: in all it’s wisdom NVidia decided to bring newer drivers with lower version numbers: 185.18.04 is newer than 185.19, and today they added 185.18.08
What is recommended? Hard to say What runs best ? Usually I just try and see if there is any improvement, if little bugs have been solved, etc.
Check the nvidia linux forum for the latest release and experience from other users.

I always the latest (beta)-driver and install manually. The openSuSE repo doesn’t update very often.
