This problem persists in Sid. Almost anything Xorg or OpenGL that gets updated necessitates reinstalling the Nvidia stuff, both kernel module and other stuff. No so bad a trip but .... Seems to me that the Nvidia stuff should not go to /usr or /usr/lib or /usr/X11R6 .../modules where Xorg stuff normally goes. Should have its own directories and these specified in xorg.conf. Actually, their installer tries, cites a "modular" Xorg installation and requests an "sdk". Failing that, it places things in the "standard" directories. The installer has an --x-prefix option which they recommend only under "rare circumstances". There are --x-module-path (defaults to ...xorg/modules now) and --x-library-path (defaults to --x-prefix/lib) as well Anyone use these to straighten this out? Which options? The debian package of the Nvidia driver DRI did not work when I tried that? Where does this now place its items? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
