Just run startx in runlevel 3 and as root. Okay, that gave me the KDE GUI, as root, without logging in. Then that means that the graphics driver is not the issue. It is the display manager. That is at least progress. Not sure what to try next though. Maybe I should just have done a re-install, would have easily fixed the problem by now :-(
Which is why I now always do a fresh install and not an upgrade -- too much f*-around otherwise.
I have been doing upgrades for two decades, and I still find it preferable :-)
BTW, I saw that you mentioned that the Nvidia driver was compiled - but was 'mkinitrd' run after the compilation?
The nvidia driver is not loaded from initrd, but much later. And in the rpm case, the compilation happens during installation. Anyway, his issue is not related to the driver, as startx works fine, he gets a desktop. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
