7.2 didn't recognize a lot of things. That didn't matter because things were
not standardized back then and there were only Windows drivers. FC-4 not only
recognized a digital camera but knew what to do with it without any input from me.

Strange X server behaviour after installing new nvidia driver

OK - I now am a step further. As I said, it worked 2 days immediately after
installation. I thought about what might have changed. I guess I know now.
I updated sax2 via YaSt on Sunday. Went off the system and yesterday i
crashed.

I analysed the xorg.conf and found three dangerous lines there.

load "glx" which I need

Option Protocol "Standard" and
Option Protocol "exploreps/2"

Which caused the problem. Now I commented out the Load "glx"
and it worked again!

Then I took the commment out of the load directive, I changed "Standard" to
"standard" and "exploreps/2" to "ExplorePS/2" and guess what? X server
starts but the screen is a complete mess.

I then commented out "Load" directive again and all worked fine.

Soo - without "glx" the "Options" work with either small and/or big letters.
with "glx" only "standard" and "ExplorePS/2" work, but screen is white,
nothing to see, no cursor, some scrambled unstructured black lines.

What else could YaSt and sax2 mess up? - BTW: nvidia 3D cannot be switched
on.

sax2 -m 0:nvidia

will cause sax2 to write a new xorg.conf file and I am back on square one!

That's what I like with Linux, once you sorted out one problem (sound in my
case) you immediately are facing a new challenge! ;-))

Sounds like an OS class homework assignment. If so, don't expect
people to just give you a solution.

Thanks. Worst case a new D-Link rather than replace a Linksys.

Identical servers + kernel configs -> different initrds?

Posted: 09 Sep 2006 09:31 PM PDT

OtisUsenet wrote: 

No.

But if the two servers have different hardware (especially hard drive
controllers) and the drivers to support that hardware are compiled as
modules (not into the kernel), then the contents of the initrds will be
different.

That's what you've got, plus lvm on one and not the other. lvm is a
software thing, but it's still an initrd difference.

FWIW if additional drivers are compiled into the kernel, then the kernel
gets bigger. Either way, additional binary content does compress
(initrd or vmlinuz), but not as much as something with a lot of entropy,
like text, for example.
