The subject gives you the gist of the message. To avoid retyping, I'm copying the body of my post to fedoraforums.org: Today's updates included several Xorg components so I logged out, planning on logging back in. Instead, I got the splash screen, not the login screen. I tried going to other consoles and got the expected text login, except for Ctrl-Alt-F7 which got a blank screen. Logging in, either as myself or as root and trying startx failed, claiming that it couldn't find a screen. I tried (as root) telinit 3, which worked. Then, logged in as myself, I tried this: su -c 'telinit 5' It failed, with the same error. I'm reluctant to reboot unless and until I have to because that's rarely the right answer in the Linux world and because, right now, I doubt it would work. I'm posting from my laptop, and won't be updating it until I know my desktop's working OK. BTW, my desktop has F 14 with Gnome, and an nVidia graphics cards for which I use kmod-nvidia. Any suggestions? ---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ---------- More info: The error message is that the kmod is 260.19.29 but the driver is 260.19.36. Checking with yum, I find that I have that newer version of the kmod (and akmod as well). However, last time I rebooted for a kernel update, the kmod wasn't there so my box used akmod to build it. Is there a way, other than a reboot, to get the right version of kmod running? I'll reboot if and only if needed, but I'd rather make sure it's the right thing first. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
