Just installed k_deflt-2.4.19-274 on my 8.1, now X11 wouldnt start, no matter wether I installed the nvidia drivers that came with YOU or the latest from www.nvidia.com. Had to go back to the 'default' versions on both kernel and drivers.
not funny.
depends.
You chose to use the binary-only NVidia supplied drivers for X. Those are compiled for an specific kernel-release. When you updated your kernel you broke the driver.
But it wasn't a _version_ upgrade... just 2.4.29-74 -> 2.4.19-274? Never seen such a behaviour before...
Go ask NVidia when they will supply compiled drivers for the bug-fixed kernel. And remind them that ".rpm" could contain proper dependencies, so that you will not break your system inadvertently.
Then they will tell me 'but we _have_ SuSE rpm packages for kernel version 2.4.19...'
Or simply use your graphic card without 3D-acceleration and use the free "nv" driver, which came with X.
yea. on a machine dedicated to gaming that wouldn't be the best idea... bye, [MH] -- Die unaufgeforderte Zusendung einer Werbemail an Privatleute verstößt gegen §1 UWG und 823 I BGB (Beschluß des LG Berlin vom 2.8.1998 Az: 16 O 201/98).
