Description Dimitri Jakov 2011-03-16 22:54:34 CET

Description of problem:

At this moment, dkms-nvidia-current package requires x11-driver-video-nvidia-current. In fact, the latter package is not necessary for the kernel driver to be built via DKMS; at the same time NVIDIA kernel driver may be required by CUDA/OpenCL programs running on a headless node or on a cluster without X.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

270.30-2.mga1

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. urpmi dkms-nvidia-current
2. enjoy X11 guts on your compute cluster! :)
3.


Reproducible:

Additionaly, nvidia-current-cuda-opencl has the same issue. It contains only
CUDA/OpenCL runtimes, but requires x11-driver-video-nvidia-current, which are
absolutely not necessary for CUDA/OpenCL programs to be compiled and run.

Fixed in 270.41.06-2.mga1, thanks for the report.

Sorry for the delay, I had missed this bugreport.
