Yeah, every time you update the kernel you have to redo the nvidia driver for that kernel, it's a hassle, but not too terribly difficult (I finally got it working with the nvidia in the 'sid' repository) but I am still using the same kernel (2.6.22-2) that I was using before - but I do dist-upgrades once a week or so. It should be that dist-upgrade doesn't automatically upgrade the kernel, but that depends on whether you install the numbered version explicitly vs. the 'generic' 2.6 package (linux-image-k7 or whatever), AIUI. > running Debian testing. > NOW my NVIDIA driver is working again, and so is mplayer. > so it looks like the fact that the nvidia driver wasn't working also Yeah, it's good to have the nvidia driver, but things should still work even with the 'nv' driver. Other than being slower, I hadn't had problems running vlc or mplayer. Sometimes -vo options help, such as -vo X11 or other choices. One thing I never got to work right was the -vo mga/xmga output driver when I had a Matrox G450 card (I gave it away). That seems to have worked with Mandrake but I never got the mga driver to work with Debian's mplayer. > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
