This is the usual age old problem of getting nvidia driver to work. My box (unstable) was running smoothly until I upgraded to KDE 3.5.6 using 'aptitude -t experimental'. In which process, I guess, the kernel also got upgraded from 2.6.18-3-486 to 2.6.18-4-486 a few days ago. At that time there was no nvidia-kernel-2.6.18-4-486 in the unstable repository. So, I tried the 'module-assistant' way:
$ apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx $ m-a prepare $ m-a autoinstall nvidia $ apt-get install nvidia-glx $ dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (and choose nvidia) $ echo nvidia >> /etc/modules [--- reboot --] It did not work. So, I shifted back to "nv" driver and waited for a while. Yesterday I checked that nvidia-kernel-2.6.18-4-486 was added to the unstable repository. So, I tried it again: $ apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx $ apt-get install nvidia-kernel-$(uname -r) $ apt-get install nvidia-glx $ dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (and choose nvidia) [--- reboot --] Same error: (on startx) [EE] Failed to load module "nvidia" (module doesnot exist, 0) [EE] No deviecs found Fatal server error no screens found $ lsmod | grep nvidia nvidia 4545108 0 agpgart 29360 1 nvidia i2c_core 19472 3 nvidia,eeprom,i2c_nforce2 What is missing???
