For me, the problem was serious: my workstation just was unable to
start the X server after upgrading to CentOS6.5 (segmentation fault)<br>
<br>
My graphic config:<br>
# lspci | grep VGA<br>
05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV38GL [Quadro
FX 1300] (rev a2)<br>
# rpm -qa | grep nvidia<br>
nvidia-x11-drv-173xx-173.14.36-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64<br>
kmod-nvidia-173xx-173.14.36-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64<br>
<br>
Removing the package xorg-x11-glamor (and,
consequently,xorg-x11-drv-ati and xorg-x11-drivers) solved the
problem as discussed in this list<br>
<br>
But an automatisation of such a task would be welcome for non
specialists! I was lucky to find the post, and a lot of people would
have switched to another distro (or other system? or change their
computer?)<br>
<br>
By the way, thank you all to find the problem and to explain it in
this list!<br>
