Re: Strange X server behaviour after installing new nvidia driver

Hello all,

I just downloaded the latest nvidia driver to have 3D extension and
installed via YaSt.

Everything worked fine and desktop information stated the nvidia driver
with 3D enabled is installed. The I installed xgl and compiz. Taht gave an
error message after kde start so I went back to normal Xorg server.
All went well. The I did some more etsts and shut down. Getting into the
system today I found that X stop with fatal error.

This is an extract from Xorg.0.log:

This is amazing because I did not change by hand anything in xorg.conf.

Also desktop information now shows nvida without 3D enabling.

Are thee some more startup/config files which interfere here?
Any ideas?

Thanks and Regards,
