Interestingly the system only reports 4x. Downgrading the severity as this (hopyfully) only affects your GPU model (or gpu+system combination). Anyway, the 96xx series has been declared as end-of-life by Nvidia and won't be updated any more. > Then the xorg.conf was modified to be like the one in lenny that worked > great in that release. Have you tried the minimal xorg.conf as can be fount in README.Debian? > update-alternatives was then run to point the links to 96xx. Why do you have 173xx legacy installed anyway? It does not support your card. I have not much hope to be able to find a solution :-( Did you have the system running under squeeze? There are probably 3 major components changing from release to release that could be involved in this bug: * kernel * Xorg * driver (Nvidia 96xx should be rather "stable" (or better "static"), while Nouveau should see a lot of development ...) Starting with a well working old system and then testing partial upgrades (or backports or ...) could help to find the faulty component ... best to do this with an installation on a separate disk, to be able to start over and test a different path without losing valueable data etc. Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
