Dear Sir,
I have an NVIDIA Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 MX440] video card that worked fine with the nvidia-glx_1.0.4191-1_i386.deb that I got from
Justin A <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'s web page about nine months ago.
Now, during a routine update/upgrade cycle, the package nvidia-glx_1.0.4496-2.1_i386.deb maintained by you was installed but I could not get X up after that.
Accordingly, I manually downgraded by going to /var/cache/apt/archives and using dpkg -i to install the previous version.
I have two questions:
(1) Why does the new version not work?
(2) How can I prevent the newer versions from ever being installed, if (1) cannot be fixed? I have in /etc/apt/preferences the lines:
Package: nvidia-* Pin: release v=1.0.4191-1 Pin-Priority: 1000
but they do not seem to work.
Can you help please?
Many thanks.

It looks like that website has not updated it's versions very recently, e.g. kernel 2.4.22 is not there.
496 is the latest Nvidia version, I use 363.
Why don't you just download the script from the Nvidia site and run it?
You'll have to apt-get the kernel-headers for your version of the kernel.
Hugo.
