Everything worked just fine till last version, and here's the error I've got: # zypper in x11-video-nvidiaG02 nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-default … Retrieving package nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-default-180.29_2.6.27.7_9.1-0.1.x86_64 (1/2), 1.9 M (9.7 M unpacked) Installing: nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-default-180.29_2.6.27.7_9.1-0.1 [error] Installation of nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-default-180.29_2.6.27.7_9.1-0.1 failed: (with --nodeps --force) Error: Subprocess failed.

[A/r/i]: i Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. To fix the problem or 2. to provide us some option in Zypper for downgrading packages since previous version of nVidia drivers worked just fine. Expected Results: nVidia drivers to work hwinfo | grep -i nvidia pci.vendor = 'nVidia Corporation' info.vendor = 'nVidia Corporation' Model: "nVidia GeForce 8600 GT" Vendor: pci 0x10de "nVidia Corporation" XFree86 v4 Server Module: nvidia XFree86 v4 Server Module: nvidia
