My NVidia driver is always the one from NVIDIA and I have no problems. I don't know if the openSUSE one is built for a specific kernel, never tried it for vanilla kernels. I'm running a 2.6.39-git vanilla kernel and NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.09. I've just updated to the latest git/svn of SimGear and Flightgear, OSG was already at the latest. I also use the distro's openal, freeglut, freealut and plib packages - they're fine so there is no need to rebuild from sources from the internet which could cause who knows what problems as it then becomes a hybrid system and not core openSUSE as it's meant to be. It's been a very long time since we've had to mess with that stuff. Everything builds and everything runs. Mission accomplished, very simply, no fuss, no bother. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
