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. 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. Or simply use your graphic card without 3D-acceleration and use the free "nv" driver, which came with X. Binary driver are bad for stable systems. Peter
