Hi,
I went through Tumbleweed: Nvidia (proprietary) driver 560 when? Any ETA? and the links to the mailing list. Can someone please confirm if my view is correct:

  • nvidia 555 driver with explicit sync for wayland users was not released yet through the standard repos for some technical reasons
  • now nvidia 560 is planned for release, but Nvidia just broke some dependencies. This needs to be fixed first by the maintainer Stefan Dirsch (or someone else who can help him …)

Is that correct?

@thommierother AFAIK, until 56n series moves to the production branch it won’t get updated by the current maintainer.

And when this will happen?

You need to ask Nvidia. Nvidia decides when a new feature branch gets a production branch.
