AFAIK this only happens if the x11-video-nvidia/x11-video-nvidiaG01 gets uninstalled to make sure that X11 still starts aferwards, because the NVIDIA driver no longer exists. I'm wondering if this is what happened on your system.
But this should no have happened since the NVIDIA driver was updated together with our kernel security update (due to a kABI breakage).
So a good explanation was given why the process is like it is. imho uninstalling the kmp package we provide resets your xorg.conf to allow it to still work. I wouldn't name that "trash my system" Maybe a warning would be useful. Installing your own stuff afterwards doesn't trash any of your xorg.conf settings All this happens on a package script level and is not influenced by sax2 Stefan I think it's again up to you to decide if we still want to touch the xorg.conf when installing/uninstalling packages thanks -- 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.
