OpenSUSE 13.1 / older nVIDIA cards / nVIDIA GeForce G105M

    I have a laptop ACER with nVIDIA GeForce G105M videocard. Yes, it is about 5 years old and I have a lot of problems with OpenSuSE (12.x, 13.1) and nVIDIA drivers.
     I have covered some issues in a previous post when I posted a config file example.
     My videocard requires the nVIDIA G02 package. However, some programs insist to install the nVIDIA G03 package (I don't know why), so I have to be very careful. If the 03 package is installed it will mess up the entire system (OpenGL not working anymore, multiple images of the desktop on the laptop's display). I tried to ban the installation of the 03 package but it didn't seem to work, so the only option is to check very carefully every installation (why is Mozilla Thunderbird trying to install video drivers I can't imagine).

    So far, OpenSuSE 13.1 is working (almost) properly: KDE desktop is not working with OpenGL when I attach a monitor to the laptop (yet other programs that requires OpenGL are working; I can live with that)
