Hi, Having a terrible time trying to get nvidia drivers working. I had them working ages ago but an update broke them whilst I was trying to get CUDA to work.
I'm trying to do this properly the nvidia way, and have tried to remove all of the packages using apt, and them used m-a prepare m-a auto-install nvidia and everything went to plan, but when I reboot X fails saying it can't find the modules. ja@Hawaiian:~$ uname -a Linux Hawaiian 2.6.30-2-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Dec 7 05:21:45 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux Hawaiian:/home/ja# find / -iname 'nvidia.ko' /lib/modules/2.6.30-2-amd64/nvidia/nvidia.ko /lib/modules/2.6.30-2-amd64/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko lsmod shows an nvidia module Hawaiian:/home/ja# lsmod | grep nvidia nvidia 10852808 0 i2c_core 25424 2 i2c_i801,nvidia But it doesn't seem the same size as the other two, which are different from each other.
