If you do not install nvidia-kernel-source and then use module-assitant to build the nvidia kernel modules for your kernel, then yes you can't install nvidia-glx. This is not a bug, this is just how it works. http://www.tinyplanet.ca/~lsorense/debian/debian-nvidia-dri-howto.html has my howto on how it is done. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
