[Mageia-dev] Latest update borked my x server

[Wolfgang Bornath]

Installed MGA3 Beta2 including proprietary nvidia driver, working nicely.

After doing updates including kernel 3.8.0-desktop-0.rc5.1.mga3 the
startup process stopped and showed a message that a display driver
module is loaded which conflicts with the current setup (translation
from German) and so x server may not start correctly. And so it was:
after "Started LSB: Nameserver information manager" the start process
hangs. Switching to VT2 and logging in, giviong the command 'startx'
fails:

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia_current': No such device
modprobe: ERROR: Error running install command for nvidia
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia'; Operation not permitted
(EE) Server termibnated with error (1)
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server error

That's it.
