--hxkXGo8AKqTJ+9QI Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline I run kdm on ttyv8, as recommended by the handbook. % grep kdm /etc/ttys ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure I'm also using the closed-source nvidia drivers. To upgrade them requires that I unload nvidia.ko. Which I can't do with kdm running, because it needs that module. The only solution I can come up with it to edit /etc/ttys, reboot, upgrade the drivers, change /etc/ttys back, and boot again. Is there a cleaner way of doing this?
