The correct way to move the file out of the way is to use dpkg-divert(8) _before_ you install the Nvidia driver. Then upgrades of xserver-xorg-core will not overwrite your symlink. This is what the nvidia-glx package does, BTW. Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
