I wonder why the suse packages does not ship the nvidia-installer. It
should be able to rebuild the kernel module for other installed
kernels.
See the man page, which is installed :)
$ man nvidia-installer
-K, --kernel-module-only
Install a kernel module only, and do not uninstall the
existing driver.
-k KERNEL-NAME, --kernel-name=KERNEL-NAME
Build and install the NVIDIA kernel module for the non-running
kernel specified by KERNEL-NAME
This is how you would use the installer:
$ sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.96 -x
$ cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.96
$ ./nvidia-installer -K -k 3.12.53-40-desktop
Pity that the damn installer does not want to work against the rpm
installation because it makes stupid sanity checks.
Anyways it should also be possible to only build the module using make
$ NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.96/kernel
$ make install whatever_options
I've played around with make but couldn't find the right options to let
it find the right kernel sources, config etc. I'm sure that I had
managed that in past.

Rudi
