Well, there is no problem with restarting the Xserver anymore. Thanks to
the nvidia team!
But, on my i8k the Xserver crashes when switching back to VT7 where the
Xserver is running on. It dies with the message:
(WW) Open APM failed
(II) NVIDIA(0): No MetaMode found for mode "1280x960"
(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1280x960"
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failes to allocate the cursor image context DMA
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
Anyone having an idea? I use the framebuffer console with 1280x960@16 bpp
and started the server in 16bpp.
Further observations from David Megginson at the linux-dell-laptops list:
>1. I had to reboot the system once after installing because the old
> drivers left the card in a bad state.
>
>2. At 1600x1200, the XServer started fine with my old XF86Config-4
> file -- no changes required.
>
>3. After the initial reboot, I could restart X without further
> rebooting -- I've reinstalled gdm on my system.
>
.4. The XServer *still* crashes when I close the Gnome Control Center.
>
>5. The XServer *still* crashes when I run recent versions of Mozilla
> (I'm stuck back at 0.9.0 or 0.9.1).
>Wine used to crash the old driver -- I'll reinstall it later this week
>and see if it works now (reports from others welcome).
>
>6. Suspend/resume is now explicitly disabled in nv.c (though you could
> edit that since you have the source). You have to quit X to
> suspend the notebook.

>7. The VGA mode for the virtual consoles is screwed up when you switch

>8. The NV AGP still doesn't work, but AGPGART does.
