As far as I know the nvidia binary driver (especially the kernel module) doesn't work with the current xen kernel. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=231164 ------- Comment #3 from madworm_de.novell@spitzenpfeil.org 2007-01-05 08:13 MST ------- Before I switched from standard to the xen kernel I had my system running with the nvidia-glx module installed just by adding the nvidia-repo with yast as suggested by the opensuse-site. That module is of course installed into the NON-xen lib - directory. As far as I know there is no stock nvidia module for xen. So when I booted the xen-kernel there was no nvidia module available. Thus X would not run anymore. I expected that. Then I fired up sax2 to reconfigure xorg.conf - which failed miserably. Sax2 detected the nvidia chipset and tried to start an X server with said - missing - module. I ended up replacing the 'nvidia' with the 'nv' module in xorg.conf by hand. The problem is that sax2 'believed' everything was fine... which is true for the standard kernel, but not for the xen kernel. That's why I suggested sax2 should not use the 'nvidia' module when a xen-kernel is running. -- 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.

So to say I think sax is not responsible for checking whether the installed driver works or not. There are several possible environment problems which prevents the driver from working correctly. If you intentionally exchange the kernel no matter if this is an update of the standard kernel or a switch to the xen kernel it is up to you to cleanup the rest of the environment which means update the nvidia driver for xen... which is not possible because that doesn't exist, so uninstall what is not working anymore. I'm sorry -- 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.
