If you have been happily using the two NVIDIA display driver packages with yast2:
If this is you, and you recently upgraded, you may find your nvidia display doesn’t work anymore, and fails every time to load a graphical display, kicking you back into text mode. This is really frustrating, because if you’ve been using yast2 to handle your nvidia display drivers, you know that for a long time you could upgrade the kernel without recompiling your display driver. To any linux user of nvidia products, this is a simply blindingly amazing feat of technology. Let’s just forget for a second that users of other operating systems do this everyday in a completely unremarkable way.
Well, NVIDIA thought, just for kicks, they would rename the yast packages you need to use. For no apparent reason, they are now called
So to get your NVIDIA display back, go into yast, uninstall x11-video-nvidia and nvidia-gfx-kmp-default, and install x11-video-nvidiaG01 and nvidia-gfxG01-kmp-default. Then it will work again. Unless you have one of the legacy cards described in http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/nvidia-installer-HOWTO.html .
Why did they change the name? Who knows. Why did they make the new default packages the new weird name? Who knows. What does G01 mean? Who knows.
