I am using xorg-6.8.0 and I want to use the composite extension, and of course of this I need nvidia module (not the nv one which I use).
I tried to install nvidia this way: Got module-assistand, and I did module-assistant auto-install nvidia, it did some things like downloading the nvidia-kernel-source and than making the .deb package in /usr/src/ , and it tried to install that package I don't know how but it installed somehow and that it says to me that , the package had some unresolved dependencie (nvidia-kernel-common) and you have to remove it. If I choose not to remove it I can start nvidia, and /dev/nvidia* is created but X says that it can't find the nvidia module. Ok so I read the /usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-source/README.Debian and it says that I have to apt-get install nvidia-kernel-common before doing dpkg -i to the nvidia-kernel-kernelversion-*.deb. Ok so far so good I thought, I missed a package and then I tried to install nvidia-kernel-common but this is what I get: /home/ed0n# apt-get install nvidia-kernel-common Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Package nvidia-kernel-common is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package nvidia-kernel-common has no installation candidate I have non-free in my sources.list and I am getting the packages from unstable tree. -- Edon Kelmendi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
