[opensuse] Display problem with a NVIDIA Geforce FX5500 card
My system is 10.3, fully updated, KDE as GUI. After playing around with my NVIDIA settings I found out that I am not able to reboot anymore into my KDE environment Do not know what is broken and reading the Xorg.93.log did not help. The boot stops with a message saying: Backtrace: 0: /usr/bin/Xorg(xf86SigHandler+0x81) [0x80e6d81] 1: [0xffffe420] Fatal server error: Caught signal 4. Server aborting This is also the last part of the Xorg log file. The messages in the logfile seem normal to me and I see no possibility to get my GUI back. YAst and sax in the console refuse to work on the monitor graphic card. How to get my gui back. Where should I start deleting config files in order to get sax working on a new setup? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It seems that Xgl is enabled in your oS installation. At the CLI, try this: - Disable Xgl typing as root user: # gnome-xgl-switch --disable-xgl (even if you use KDE), then reboot. - Use Sax to autodetect your settings, also as root user: # sax2 -r then reboot.

LOL, I've never seen so much advice to reboot since I was using windoze. What's up with that? Granted, rebooting is one way to make the X server restart - but I just restart the X server directly, without the reboot.

You are right, sorry. The suitable advice here should be "then restart the X server", not "then reboot". This is not about updating the kernel... Kind regards... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
