Okay, I erased kmod-nvidia-304xx and nvidia-x11-drv-304xx
I booted into the new kernel and reinstalled kmod-nvidia-304xx and
nvidia-x11-drv-304xx.
After a reboot still no joy.
The Xorg.0.log says:
[ 57.575] (EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module.
Please check your
[ 57.575] (EE) NVIDIA: system's kernel log for additional error
messages.
Where do I find said kernel log?
