Hi All,

After the upgrade from hell (6.1 -->  6.2) and not being
able to start X11, I found the following:

The nvidia drivers (kmod-nvidia, nvidia-x11-drv) failed to
open my display.  So, I had to revert to the  Nouveau
(xorg-x11-drv-nouveau) drivers.  Which, of course, I
had to install the hard way.

Has anyone got

   kmod-nvidia-295.20-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
   nvidia-x11-drv-295.20-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
   nvidia-x11-drv-32bit-295.20-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

to work on SL6.2 x64 successfully?  And, if so, what/how did
you do it?

I have updated my machine from SL 6.1 to 6.2. Absolutely no problem with:

$ rpm -qa | grep nvidia
kmod-nvidia-295.20-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
nvidia-x11-drv-32bit-295.20-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
nvidia-x11-drv-295.20-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64

I did not do anything special. Just rebooted the system after the
update and that's all.

Do you have any error message you can show? Like /var/log/Xorg.0.log
when X failed to start?

Akemi


Hi Akemi,

All of my Xorg.x.logs show the "nouveau" driver.  I could
not find one that was looking for my nvidia-x11-drv.

I wonder if this thing in my kernel run line has anything
to do with it: nouveau.modeset=0
