severity 495098 grave tags 495098 fixed-upstream thanks I'm marking this as grave because this bug shows that nvidia-kernel-legacy-71xx-source doesn't work anymore. I'm tagging it fixed-upstream because Vincent's message above says that it is fixed upstream. By the way: I, too, am experiencing this bug. I would much appreciate it if it were fixed. The problem is that this package doesn't have a very active maintenance team. But the steps to make things work aren't impossible wizardry; I would think that the main steps are to:
1. grab the latest stable x86 and amd64 drivers (.run files) from http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=122606 2. apt-get build-dep nvidia-kernel-legacy-71xx-source 3. apt-get source nvidia-kernel-legacy-71xx-source 4. put the new .run files you downloaded into the nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-71xx-71.86.04/ directory, replacing the old .run files 5. cd nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-71xx-71.86.04 && dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc 6. If everything worked, and the resulting package works, you are done. If not, tweak things to try to make them work, then go back to step 5. This is the hard part. And I am sure irc.oftc.net #debian-mentors will always be available to help if you have any questions. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
