Cuda 6.5 on OpenSuSE 12.3

NVidia Drivers

Make sure you have the official NVidia drivers installed in your system:

• Run Yast.
• Click in "Software Repositories"
• Click in "Add"
• Choose "Specify URL", then "Next"
• Repository Name: "nvidia", URL: http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/12.3/
• Confirm
• Go back to Yast
• Click in "Software Management"
• Search for "nvidia"
• Add the following packages: 

1. x11-video-nvidiaG03-340.46-30.1.x86_64
2. nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-desktop-340.46_k3.7.10_1.1-30.1.x86_64
3. nvidia-computeG03-340.46-30.1.x86_64
4. nvidia-settings-325.15-1.3.x86_64
5. nvidia-glG03-340.46-30.1.x86_64
6. nvidia-texture-tools-2.0.6-36.2.x86_64
7. nvidia-uvm-gfxG03-kmp-desktop-340.46_k3.7.10_1.1-30.1.x86_64

Notice that the above assumes your board is supported by the G03 kernel driver and that you are using the "kernel-desktop". Make sure you choose the proper driver for your board and the kernel driver corresponding to your kernel.
