The reason that I updated my sid to the current sid in the first place was to prepare for newer nvidia drivers. I usually like to do one thing at a time though. Not that upgrading 394 packages in one go with apt-get is "one thing", but it's never failed me before. Anyway, I couldn't seem to build the latest nvidia debs for my 2.2.17 kernel with 2.7.2 gcc, so I upgraded to 2.2.19, overrode the compiler to 2.95.x, built and installed 2.2.19 and rebooted and built the new nvidia drivers and rebooted and....everything is OK again. Well, except I have to find that annoying "nolisten-tcp" business that stops me from sending X displays back to this machine... ...RickM...
