Thanks. Its been a while since I did a manual install - do they integrate with dkms now or do we need to rerun the install after each kernel upgrade.

Well that went surprisingly smoothly apart from some farting around with blacklisting nouveau. Always forget to run mkinitrd. Thanks All. The wobbly windows effect seems to be missing? -- Lindsay -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Ah, that makes more sense, thanks. How do I shut down X in Tumbleweed? "service sddm stop" does nothing. -- Lindsay -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
Hello Lindsay. The systemd unit is called "display-manager", to shut it down, do: systemctl stop display-manager.service. Regards, Howard On Tue, 12 Apr 2016, Lindsay Mathieson wrote:

systemctl stop [sddm,xdm,kdm,lightdm,...] In case you've not tried it, the modeset driver built into Xorg works pretty will for a lot of gfxchips as an alternative to both nvidia and nouveau, as well as ati and intel, depending on what it is exactly you expect from your graphical environment. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
