The nvidia driver will stop working if you switch kernels or do something serious enough that it thinks the kernel is switched. I have hundreds of gentoo computers as part of video generation clusters and have had no problems with continous operation. You should sit though the hour it takes to bring up a 40 node cluster.I notice that after a while, opengl stops working, and I must run '#opengl-update nvidia' again. Is there a way to stop this from happening.
I am running nvidia-kernel 3123 (4 is too slow starting up.) I have had this problem with both 2.4.20 and 4.5.65 kernels.
Also, is there a way to speed up the X initialization? I have tried the
'UseInt10' option and 'NoLogo' option but it is still slow.
