SSD rotto,nvidia

due to rupture of the SSD, I was back with the news, the question is the new nvidia drivers are installed with the new Tumbleweed the kernel 4.10.3.
thank you
ps: disko ssd is under warranty and between 8/10 days I deliver repaired, so it makes no sense buy another

The last Nvidia driver (378.13) still needs a patch to build on kernel 4.10.x.
See this https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/523020-OpenSUSE-tumbleweed-nvidia-driver-installation-error-fence-h?highlight=nvidia+4.10 as a starting point.

and newer versions of the kernel.

code:

Make sure you have compiling tools, sources etc. installed

In my download directory"
