Another update: the nvidia installer works fine after it runs, but my X breaks on the next reboot, and consequently I have to rerun the installer on every reboot - a royal PITA. At first, I thought it may have been due to conflicts with the installed/half-installed nvidia-glx packages when I tried to use the debian method earlier, so I removed all of those packages I could think of, but that didn't fix the problem. Eventually, I got so fed up I reinstalled the system, upgraded to unstable, and used the debian nvidia-glx packages, which installed beautifully without a hitch (cursing nvidia and closed-source drivers all the while). I am now running compiz happily on my sid system, and all is well once again :-) Best, -- Jimmy Wu Registered Linux User #454138 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
