After last update (nvidia drivers were updated to 418-74) I can no longer have graphical support in mageia 7 beta up to date. The computer freezes. In recovery mode, startx returns errors and does not go. I have mageia-prime set to install. This is a hybrid graphics laptop with integrated video card intel. However, I now have graphical support working only when I move /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf_old

So it does not work if you boot the kernel with the flag nomodeset ?

Symptoms sound similar to what we nvidia340 users have been seeing since Cauldron moved to Kernel 5.1. Bug 24719.

Nope, it means old nvidia module is in initrd causing a mismatch If you re-create the initrd and reboot it will fix itself up. I guess I need to add a call to always rebuild the initrd on driver update

Oops, wrong bugreport
I've not had access to the laptop yet. But everything was working fine till nvidia's drivers update to 418.74. I'm considering moving back to the last nvidia's driver to test. I'm using the latest mageia's kernel 5.1.
same here and after thomas's comment on qa, login to text console with control-alt-f2 mkinitrd /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img reboot the clue is in the following messages in the kernel log (/var/log/kernel/warnings.log) May 9 15:38:03 host kernel: [ 17.245695] NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 418.74, but May 9 15:38:03 host kernel: [ 17.245695] NVRM: this kernel module has the version 418.56. Please May 9 15:38:03 host kernel: [ 17.245695] NVRM: make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver May 9 15:38:03 host kernel: [ 17.245695] NVRM: components have the same version. thomas suggested : I guess I need to add a call to always rebuild the initrd on driver update regards peter

"... So it does not work if you boot the kernel with the flag nomodeset ? ..." I have commands to blacklist nouveau in the linux line. The flag nomodeset does not help no matter if I set it before or after blacklisting nouveau in the linux line
Updating this bug, mageia-prime-uninstall also allows for graphical support upon rebooting.
New kernel 5.1.0-desktop-2.mga7 solved the problem. I suggest to close this bug.
