Hi, thanks for your answer, i did run ranlib on both libraries and nothing
happen, the error messages are still there, but when did the second:
# ranlib /usr/lib/modules/libfb.a

it start appearing a "Password:" message below the others, so i try starting
with root (wich never try before cause nothing tells me that maybe was a
permission issue) and voila! there it was my X window system.

So the problem was that in the middle of the fury of upgrades nvidia-glx was
re-emerged and it has changed the permissions of /dev/nvidia*

I have it now like this:
$ ls /dev/nvidia*
crw-rw-rw-  1 root video 195,   0 jul  4 01:22 /dev/nvidia0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root video 195, 255 jul  4 01:22 /dev/nvidiactl

And have X.

It's ok this? Or maybe i have to leave it chmod 640 and put my user in video
group?
