Little update. This nvidia driver problem, see other thread, was |
| 30 |
getting on my nerve. After my weekly sync and package updates were |
| 31 |
done, I rebooted. The new kernel booted just fine. I guess the other |
| 32 |
two kernels just went bad, most likely my fault but who knows. So, |
| 33 |
upgrading from a older 5.14 kernel to a 6.0 kernel is doable. |
| 34 |
Everything booted just fine. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
I'm back to my old kernel tho since my nvidia-drivers won't work with a |
| 37 |
kernel that high. I run into this on rare occasions. Most of the time |
| 38 |
it works but on rare occasions, it fails. Maybe with the next nvidia |
| 39 |
update it will work. According to the info it puked on my keyboard, |
| 40 |
5.19 or so is the latest nvidia supports. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
I did re-emerge the nvidia drivers for the old kernel. So far, my |
| 43 |
second screen appears to be working. When I rebooted, both screens |
| 44 |
worked without me having to reconfigure several times. I have not |
| 45 |
turned off my two TVs to be 100% sure tho. My reboot was short enough |
| 46 |
the TVs stayed powered up. I'm not sure if them powering off triggers |
| 47 |
it or not but powered off is usually where I start. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
If I get bored, and it warms up a little, I may build a 5.19 kernel. |
| 50 |
Thing is, by the time I get around to rebooting, nvidia may have updated |
| 51 |
and the new one I already got will work. :/ |
| 52 |

Thanks to all. |
