Re: Problem with X when changing to console



Hi.
I am not familiar with nvidia, but I believe you need KMS/DRM mode:
(See modeset setting)
https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/396.51/README/kms.html

This was an idea behind the DRM/KMS: both Xorg and Framebuffer (graphical mode linux command line console) work on top of the driver.

When crashed, does it write something to the console and/or logs?

Hi folks,

since some months I am looking for an issue and I hope, someone might know
more and can help.

The issue is the following: I am running plasma and Nvidia proprietrary
driver. When I change to a console with CTL+ALT+F1, and after some seconds
back with ALT+F7, then X has crashed.

It looks for me, that the nvidia module was unloaded, and I am rather sure,
that I made a setting in the past, where the nvidia module should be unloaded,
when changing to a console.

But the problem is: I can not remember any more, where I did this setting!

Does anyone know, where this option can be set / unset?

If this is a bug in the nvidia module (what I do not believe at the moment, as
on my other computers this behaviour does not appear), please drop me a note.

Thank you for any help and stay healthy

Best regards

Hans
