Hi Paul:
I discovered another disadvantage of the combination of KDM and the accelerated nvidia drivers: once you've logged in, you can no longer switch to any other virtual console (e.g., Alt-Ctl-F2).
It does seem surprising that the problem would show up with one login manager but not a different one. I wonder if the flaw lies in the NVidia drivers or in KDM.
The flaw is probably in the nVIDIA driver; supposedly it was fixed. Look: 2000-08-30 version 0.95 * Improve XFree86 4.0.1 support * re-fixed console switch lockup <snip> This is from file:/usr/share/doc/packages/nv_glx/NVIDIA_Changelog (on your computer) -- Cheers, Jonathan
