Dear Folks, I forgot to use protection and the stork delivered a new kernel to my machine in the middle of the night again....
So I had to re do the nvidia driver stuff again..... The machine is an AMD64 box with a 3200 Sempron chip on it and a 8500GT Nvidia graphics card. I now have the following kernel spc1-burn4-0-0-cust452:/home/mikef# uname -r 2.6.25-2-amd64 Here is the output of m-a a-i -t nvidia-kernel: spc1-burn4-0-0-cust452:/home/mikef# m-a a-i -t nvidia-kernel . Updated infos about 1 packages Getting source for kernel version: 2.6.25-2-amd64 Kernel headers available in /lib/modules/2.6.25-2-amd64/build apt-get install build-essential Reading package lists...

Target package file /usr/src/nvidia-kernel-2.6.25-2-amd64_169.12-4+2.6.25-4_amd64.deb already exists, not rebuilding!

Everything has worked that debian nvidia howto says you are meant to do (at least I think so) but the 3d rendering doesn't seem to come on: spc1-burn4-0-0-cust452:/home/mikef# glxinfo |grep rendering Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
