https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=219456 Summary: Restart Xserver not possible after upgrading the driver version Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X11 3rd Party AssignedTo: lfriedman@nvidia.com ReportedBy: sndirsch@novell.com QAContact: sndirsch@novell.com CC: mhopf@novell.com, aritger@nvidia.com I just updated the nvidia driver. After terminating my Xsession, the Xserver tried to restart (default xdm/kdm/gdm setup on SUSE since ever), which was not possible since the already loaded kernel module does not match the new driver version. The displaymanager tries 3 times to start the Xserver then terminates. Unloading the kernel module and restarting the displaymanger fixes this problem, but is rather inconvenient for the average user. Most of them will reboot after having seen the error message "login:". :-( Would it be possible that the NVIDIA driver unloads the kernel module if it doesn't match (or unload it in general when it's loaded - if a check is not possible) and tries again with a possibly new one loaded? Let us know what you think about the proposal. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
