hi folks,
need some help on the strange behaviour on installing of one of the
newest nvidia-drivers from their website for specific needs.
1. i installed etch from a daily build, 15/2/2007.
2. got the graphics working with the debian_vesa driver
3. downloaded the nvidia-instller from their website (see in the log
further on for the exact version)
4. as root i installed this driver.
so far so good.
but, after restarting my machine, debian complained it could not find
nvidia-ko etc. see /var/log/ further on.
is there somebody out there with some clues? and, what can be done about
this?
(yesterday
the linux-driver page of nvidia-com was not online: this is exceptional)
(for the rest: my 'normal' graphics are runneing fine on the debian "nv"
driver, but I STILL NEED the other not native one.
<snip>
/etc/X11/xorg.conf:
<snip>
Section "Device"
Identifier "Generieke videokaart"
Driver "nv"
BusID "PCI:0:5:0"
EndSection
That reference (the "nv") is the open source driver. You can replace it
with "nvidia" manually, or better yet, run as root:
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Then go through the menus and choose the appropriate driver (and other
settings that are appropriate for your computer).

hi joe,
i did that <dpkg-reconf etc. etc. > several times. when i still had the
alien driver 'formally' *installed* in the kernel. i too replaced in
that configuration manually the native nv-driver "nv" with "nvidia"
without results.
after having *uninstalled* the alien driver as root: < nvidia-installer
--uninstall> i do not get the driver installed again.
should i remove the 'new' xorg-files in xorg.conf (in X11) or what to
get the d.... thing installed again???
or, perhaps, i should remove the glx driver (like in earlier times) to
get the alien driver installed again and get it permanently going by not
letting nvidia adapt X11/xorg.conf automatically but do it manually??
thank you for your answer,
steef
