Hi John, I ran into the same trouble with my desktop and found out the following: the xen kernel is a different kernel and the module should be recompiled, however the nvidia drivers are not compatible with xen (the nvidia driver told me when i tried to install/compile it against the xen kernel). So if you want to use xen, the built-in nouveau driver should be used. Since the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file contains references to the nvidia driver, X (which kde needs) won't start. This means you need a script at boot that renames /etc/X11/xorg.conf in order for X to start. When you shut down the computer you of course need a script to put back the xorg.conf file so you don't run in to trouble with X using the normal kernel. Kind regards, Natasha Op 2-10-2010 17:12, John E. Perry schreef:
Still working with my wife's new computer.
I downloaded and installed the nvidia drivers a couple of days ago (it has a geforce 210 video card). Now, the desktop system (opensuse 11.3, kept up to date with zypper) boots right up into kde, but the xen system doesn't. It complains that it can't find module nvidia.
How do I get the xen version to find the driver?
