A short pop up with 'You need to reinstall your third party nvidia driver after installing this xorg mandatory update' would do the work. Well, some of us know how to read 'sudo tail /var/log/Xorg.0.log' Thus: init 3 wget -c http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/169.09/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.... chmod 755 NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1.run ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1.run cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bck sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bck /etc/X11/xorg.conf init 5 did the thing, but for a completely unexperienced user it might be a problem. Especially, because there was previously no need for such measures. For my part, this trouble was just an unnecessarily waisted spare time. Thus IMO the easiest way would be to inform the common user of critical issues and not to reproach him with trusting mandatory updates. But as always I might be wrong... - -- All the best, Peter J.
