Hello,
I recently updated to kernel 4.7.0 in stretch, and am running the nvidia binary blob (nvidia-driver).
Upon restart, x fails to load. The system works great with the 4.6 kernel.
Anybody see the issues described here: http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1750 <http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1750> ?
Are the opensource nouveau drivers so bad, so you need closed-source
blob??? If so, that's your choice. But do not ask why something is not
working as execpted if you upgrade something on the kernel-side.
If I recall correctly 10 yrs ago or even more, when changing from kernel
2.2 to 2.4 the NVIDIA closed blob drives stopped working due to a change
in the kernel stack size or similar issue. Why not this time?
Ask NVIDIA to upgrade their driver to support the 4.7.0 Linux Kernel.
Cheers,
