Just for clarification, are you saying that you can do that even without |

re-emerging nvidia-drivers? |

So, when you first switch to the VT, the nvidia module is already loaded? |

Is there an X session already running before you restart kdm? (I don't |

use any of *dm, so I don't know if they are X apps that require X to be |

running before they can write to the screen.) |
