Does anyone have this working with GDM 2.4.1.3 on -current? I've found that I can use the nvidia driver with Maxime's patch on a freshly built -current system as long as I don't use GDM. If I start up GDM, the system freezes as soon as the nvidia logo is replaced by the GDM login screen. In the end, it doesn't make any difference to me if I use GDM or XDM, but I would like to know if there is some existing problem with the accelerated nvidia driver and GDM or if my local X configuration is somehow broken. Thanks. -Patrick walt wrote: > Maxime Henrion wrote: > >> --X1bOJ3K7DJ5YkBrT >> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii >> Content-Disposition: inline >> >> Hi all, >> >> >> Recent interface changes made the nVidia driver unbuildable on -CURRENT. >> The attached patch should make it work as it used to.
