I expected to someone else post a message about this but maybe I am
alone with this problem?
I had been running 10.3 with a GeForce 7300GT video card with great
success. A few days ago the updater applet included updated nvidia
drivers in the list of available updates.After the update compiz started
acting weird. I tried to restart the xserver but could not get it to
start. I reset the video with Yast. I tried re installing the one click
nvidia drivers but if I run the commands to run Compiz the xserver would
run.
So after a lot of reading a looking around realizing I am in over my
head in understanding this and thinking maybe there is some baggage
causing trouble and I would be further ahead (at least time wise) to do
a clean install since my home is on another partition. That done I was
in the same boat unable to get the drivers working and with a slow
desktop and unable to run a few programs without the 3D.
I looked around the nvidia site and found drivers dated from Sept. To
install them I found that had to install the source files for the kernel
first. Now all is well again running on the I assume an older kernel. So
I guess this message is a heads up to anyone about to pull the trigger
on that particular update. When I a started to write it I had not got
things working yet.But I am still wondering what the heck happened here.
