Package: nvidia-glx Severity: wishlist
nvidia-glx currently depends on the nvidia-kernel module. However, there are good reasons for installing nvidia-glx (_not_ the x-driver) without either the driver nor the kernel module. This is the case when both of those are provided in other ways. The most common way is a chropted 32-bit env on, say, a 64-bit amd host. You cnanot install the kernel module there because the kernel is 64-bit. It does provide the neecssray hooks for the nvidia opengl libraries (and likely the xorg driver, too). The clean way would be not to depend on the kernel module, as it is not required for the new libgl to work (it will even work with non-nvidia-servers for example). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16.9 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
