Hang on, does this only hold for testing? The lines in my
/etc/apt/sources.list are all for unstable:
..
# nvidia driver: see http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/index.php
# use this source line for unstable drivers
deb http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia unstable
nvidia-graphics-drivers
deb http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia unstable nvidia-kernel-common
deb http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia unstable nvidia-settings
deb http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia unstable nvidia-xconfig
deb http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia unstable modules
..
In that case all should work well?? Or is there something with my X
server not in order? The KDE control centre says: version 70,000,000??
However it *is* nvidia-glx demanding xserver-common (>= 4.0.3).
..does not compute..
Just want to mention that I was using sarge till 10 days back and was
using nvidia drivers obtained directly. They were working well with
both X and Xorg from backports. I have now upgraded to etch, and
everything still works well.
Generally, I have found it easier to install the driver directly rather
than the deb packages.
Yeah, I think I might just start using that again. Too bad, I kind of
liked the debian packages (with A.Schulman's installation recipe).
I started using Xorg in sarge/sid. Never a problem. Etch is definitely
trickier (though I don't know unstable [see above] qualifies as etch)
Thanks,
Alle Meije
