Forgot to mention:
Video Card: XFX GF 6600 256MB DDR2 DUAL DVI TV PCI-E Ver F.5
After some more adventures, which included making X hang the machine,
reverting to vesa (and losing my second monitor and glx accelleration),
etc. I found a workaround:
workaround (from console, not X11):
- Install old gcc (still in cache, fortunately):
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/gcc-4.0-base_4.0.3-3_i386.deb
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/gcc-4.0_4.0.3-3_i386.deb
- Change symlink to point to old version
rm /usr/bin/gcc
(cd /usr/bin; ln -s gcc-4.0 gcc )
- downloaded new driver from www.nvidia.com
- sh /dist/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9746-pkg1.run
Apparently it was a conflict between the new x.org and the old nvidia
driver.
Recommend packaging up the new driver and compiling it with both gcc-4.0
and gcc-4.1 for kernel-2.6.16-1-686.
