But it installs fine. /etc/X11/xorg.conf is also set to use nvidia, as it has since several kernels back in my sid system. However, when booting into the new kernel, all I get is a 1 pixel band displayed along the top of the screen. Downgrading to 169.12-1 (which means going back to the old 2.6.24-1 Linux kernel), as Jaime suggested, is the only way to get a working nvidia in this system. I use a GeForce 6100 card. The only report I could find with this 1 pixel issue is: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=115209 I don't understand where the problem is, but I'll try with your exact recipe and see what happens!
