I recently upgraded one of my 9.2 machines to 9.3 and after some mildly painful gyrations to get the NVidia driver working, I get the twm window manager (according to `echo $WINDOWMANAGER`). I found that I can run YaST in text mode and change the default WM in the sysconfig editor to kde.
Now, it starts the twm style login screen and I'm getting messages in the xconsole stating: "kernel: nvidia: unsupported module tainting kernel." "kernel: nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel." "kernel: NVRM: loading NVIDIA Linux X86 NVIDIA Kernel Module 1.0-7667 ..."
After I log in, KDE starts, but I can only "End current session" from KDE - no restart or shutdown.
So, what might I have screwed up that is causing this strange performance?
FWIW, the nvidia driver seems to be working fine even though I get the console messages. --
