Did you try reinstalling the nvidia driver? Updating either X or the kernel with YOU will uninstall it
I knew that a kernel update would require a nvidia driver reinstall (due to kernel modules/integration)...
This is not true, usual the nvidia driver survives a kernel update.
Errrrrrrrrrrr i dont think so
never knew the same was required for any X updates (like for xorg)-
It would make sense after all it IS the graphical enviroment engine is it not
Similar.
I'd swear I've done xorg updates in the past and never had to reinstall the video drivers.
That said... I'll try it as soon as I get home tonight.
Some other things might have got corrupted, so a reinstall of the driver might just help.
Ciao, Marcus
If you update your Kernel and reboot to the updated kernel the Nvidia driver will need re-installing , i am talking here of a proper kernel update binary , modules soucers every thing the whole shooting match . I do not do the Suse type upgrade where it just changes little bits and leaves things like the Nvidia driver alone i have tried it a few times and always had problems after so now i pull the complete thing down and updtae it all and reinstall the Nvidia driver never had a moments trouble doing it that way As far as the ATI drivers go i aint got the first idea i avoid ATI like the plauge ..
