I seem to hit this problem each time a dist-upgrade is done that upgrades any of the graphics components. As far as I can work out, the nvidia drivers exercise a shotgun approach to installing GLX drivers, by overwriting everything with it's own drivers and the dist-upgrade overwrites those. Reinstalling the nVidia drivers seems to fix it. If the SDL-GL drivers are missing, apt-get install libsage-0.1 should fix that. - Edward -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
