While this is an acceptable workaround while they look for a real solution, in general, this is not a very good thing to do. Not everybody wants to have X to start up on boot via xdm/kdm/gdm/whateverdm, so loading nvidia is also unneeded in that case (when loaded, it consumes resources -- by allocating kernel memory, installing the interrupt handler etc.) Also, if you are trying to isolate a reason for a crash that you suspect is a kernel bug unrelated to nvidia, you must do it w/o loading the modules like nvidia that taint your kernel, otherwise the kernel developers will typically disregard your report. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
