RE: [SLE] No X after Kernel Update
Hi Mark, I have the new nvidia drivers working fine with 2.4.10. As a start check the following: When you are dumped back at the text terminal when X fails to start, log in as root and check what kernel modules are loaded with lsmod. What is the output from the following command: uname -r ? Now try the following: modprobe NVdriver. What message do you get if any?

I didn't think it would allow me to install the same kernel version over itself. I tried removing the kernel the simple -e way but that didn't work. So far I've d'loaded the SusE specific newest drivers from nvidia and X still isn't working. Here's a snip from /var/log/SaX.log from when I try to set up X through sax2 -m 0=nvidia <snip> Chipset RIVA TNT2 Ultra found (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a (II) Module vgahw: vendor="The XFree86 Project" compiled for 4.0.3, module version = 0.1.0 (**) NVIDIA(0): Depth 16, (--) framebuffer bpp 16 (==) NVIDIA(0): RGB weight 565 (==) NVIDIA(0): Default visual is TrueColor (==) NVIDIA(0): Using gamma correction (1.0, 1.0, 1.0) (--) NVIDIA(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xE6000000 (--) NVIDIA(0): MMIO registers at 0xE4000000 (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVdriver kernel module! (EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting *** (II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. Fatal server error: no screens found <snip> My next guess would be to upgrade to the newest XFree, but it just seems odd that I can't run it after just upgrading the kernel as many others have. There were no errors when installing the new rpm's from nvidia. I made sure to remove the original NVIDIA_GLX prior to installing the new version as well. If there are any other logs that would help to solve this then please let me know as I can reach them from this comp now. Thanks in advance for all the help Mark Doucette. __________________________________________________________ Get your FREE personalized e-mail at http://www.canada.com -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq and the archives at http://lists.suse.com -- The content of this e-mail is confidential, may contain privileged material and is intended solely for the recipient(s) named above.
