Sure, but we are talking about the situation, where it isn't possible to unload the module, because it runs on top of a NVIDIA Xserver.
This would only be the case if SaX was running inside the X session where the installation took place. Why would the user do that?
Hm - why *wouldn't* he do that? It's standard in about every OS to download and install a new graphics driver while it (the old version) is running. (In reply to comment #38)
This would not allow for a solution that gets installed by the update process and deinstalls itself when not needed any more. The merit of the /var/X11R6/bin/ solution was that this is guaranteed to be writable even after the installation.
While I do not think that supporting exactly this scenario in cases where /usr is mounted r/o only (e.g. clusters with shared /usr), /var is certainly the better place for this. /usr should be immutable after installation. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
