Bug ID: 2013
Summary: POSSIBLE SOLUTION: Black screen after installing
Nvidia drivers in XFdrake
Product: OpenMandriva Lx
Version: 2014.2
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: Normal
Component: Graphics and Video
Assignee: bero at lindev.ch
Reporter: stefanvideo3 at gmail.com

CC: itchka at compuserve.com
After installing the Nvidia drivers in XFdrake, users get a black screen after
rebooting the system.
Solution working for me:
1. Go to a tty (Ctrl + Alt + F2)
2. Create a backup of xorg.conf (Generated after installing driver in XFdrake)
-- mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.back
3. Remove the current xorg.conf -- rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
4. Generate a new xorg.conf by running: nvidia-xconfig as root
5. Reboot the system
So I assume, the xorg.conf generated by XFdrake is wrong, and should be updated
to the same as generated by nvidia-xconfig.
