Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nvidia-glx
Running feisty beta with 32 bit x86 generic. Video card is Nvidia
GeForce 7800 GT 256 MB built by Xfx. It is the AGP 8x version. The
hardware detect says "generic video Card" it does not detect the model
or type. If I do System>Administration>restricted drivers manager, it
says "Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers." In Synaptic
package manager, I enable the Universe and multiverse repos. and
reload. I then search for the nvidia-glx package and install it. It
installs without error messages. I try to run "sudo nvidia-glx-config
enable" and it seems to execute without error message, but looking in
xorg.conf, shows the driver has not changed. If I change it from nv to
nvidia and try to restart x, I get x server failed to start and am
dropped to a command line. Changing it back to nv using sudo nano will
get me back to a GUI. This setup runs perfectly with Edgy and the
nvidia driver from the ubuntu repos. Following is my xorg.conf:
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf(5) manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.

# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
