https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=219456 ------- Comment #50 from eich@novell.com 2007-01-12 08:35 MST ------- The installation cannot be deferred but the files could be installed in a scratch area and moved into place later. This however may fail when /usr is mounted ro as at the time the Xserver is restarted it may already be mounted ro (while it must be rw at installation time.) In any case it would be just as troublesome as it would also require a wrapper script. Another caveat: this procedure only works with xdm - it doesn't work with startx. The advantage of the /var/X11R6/bin/X solution was that it would have worked with any X starting mechanism. In any case I will reopen this as the startx script may need some additional tweaking. A reply to comment #41:
Hm - why *wouldn't* he do that? It's standard in about every OS to download and install a new graphics driver while it (the old version) is running. SaX2 isn't needed for the installation of the package. When the user is running X when installing the driver he either has a configured Xserver (with the NVIDIA driver) running already or he is installing from a server that doesn't use the NVIDIA driver in which case the kernel module is not a concern.
