I have essentially been changing from your kernel + your nvidia packages to the generic, self-compiled kernel with the generic nvidia package. That must be possible without problems. This is a bug.
No, unfortunately in most cases this cannot work - due to a not stable kABI.
*Never* touch my xorg.conf without my approval. You are quite likely to break the system.
Not changing would make it even more likely to break the system (X usually doesn't start any longer). There is no mechanism in YaST Online Update to ask for an approval. There is no reason to assume, that there is another NVIDIA driver installation available, when the package gets uninstalled. As said before we do not support such a scenario. In my eyes a messed up system anyway. Please decide if you prefer to use our packages or (exclusive) a manual installation of the driver. But please don't complain, when a kernel update results in the need of rebuilding the NVIDIA kernel module, if chosing the latter. Probably in your case it would be the best to chose the manuall driver installation and uninstall all kernel-* packages, rebuild and install your own kernel and take care of any kernel security updates yourself. This time - INVALID. -- 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.
