I run kdm on ttyv8, as recommended by the handbook.
% grep kdm /etc/ttys
ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure
I'm also using the closed-source nvidia drivers. To upgrade them requires that
I unload nvidia.ko.
Which I can't do with kdm running, because it needs that module.
The only solution I can come up with it to edit /etc/ttys, reboot, upgrade the
drivers, change /etc/ttys back, and boot again.
Is there a cleaner way of doing this?
Thanks!
