I noticed today that there was a bit of reshuffling in unstable yet something isn't still right.
>From what you've said and read I only need 3 things to get it all working. A kernel, the nvidia kernel driver, and the nvidia xorg driver. This is the current setup: * linux-image-2.6.29-2-amd64 is installed * nvidia-kernel-2.6.26-2-amd64 is installed There is no point in trying to install nvidia-glx because it relates to 180.44 and the nvidia kernel module relates to 173.xx. I have an 8800 GT so 173.xx that used to work just fine with it and will also work with 180.44 so I have a choice between the two. As there are no pre-built modules for 180.44 (I don't know why though) I'll just use 173.xx Ok so I figure that now I should just install nvidia-glx-legacy-173xx yet synaptic spits out: nvidia-glx-legacy-173xx: Depends: nvidia-kernel-legacy-173xx-173.14.18 but it is not installable I can't install nvidia-glx as that is looking for 180.44 kernel modules This seems bizarre as the package nvidia-kernel-2.6.26-2-amd64 provides 173.xx modules and not 180.44 modules! What is the purpose then of the 173.xx kernel modules if nothing can seem to use them? -- Regards, Sheridan Hutchinson [email protected] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
