Package: nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx
Severity: important
I recently upgraded my system from an nvidia card needing legacy drivers
to an nvidia card that uses the current drivers. After doing apt-get
remove nvidia* to remove the legacy drivers, and installing the nvidia
drivers through module assistant, I faced a mystery problem where X
would start directly after install but would freeze with a black
screen before loading after reboot.
I traced the problem to nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx leaving its init script
in /etc/init.d in spite of uninstall, such that after the new nvidia-glx
init script would create symlinks to the proper glx driver, the leftover
legacy script would recreate non-working symlinks that would cause X
loading to fail at GLX initialization.
