NVIDIA driver update fixes black screen issue


To those of us who have an NVidia graphics card and have had trouble with the screen going blank when logging out of x, the newest driver has fixed this problem for me. Give it a try (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.05-pkg1)

Hope this helps someone,
Eric

Hee.. suggestion, do not run slackpkg and update the kernel now..

Now I'm unable to compile the driver. :-(

Any hints
