Thanks. Just a quick followup report to indicate that I ultimately succeeded with these steps (for posterity!): 1) rm -rf /usr/src/modules/nvidia /usr/src/nvidia* 2) added /etc/apt/sources.list lines (thanks to Jaime): ---<---------------cut here---------------start-------------->--- deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool nvidia-graphics-drivers deb-src http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool nvidia-graphics-drivers ---<---------------cut here---------------end---------------->--- 3) apt-get update 4) apt-get install nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-kernel-source=169.12-1 5) can't use the latest sid kernel, so go back to 2.6.24-1: apt-get install linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64 linux-headers-2.6.24-1-amd64 6) boot into 2.6.24-1 and: m-a -t -f clean,build,install nvidia 7) apt-get install nvidia-glx=169.12-1 However, it's frustrating to remain ignorant about what the problem is with my combination of the latest driver, kernel, and have to use an older kernel.
