Hi: Following the lines of successful setup of 3D nvidia driver with lenny amd64, i met failure with lenny i386 on a old K7S5A Elite mainboard with NV11DDR (GeForce2 MX200 rev b2). I also lost OpenGL, which I used for several applications.
What i did: # apt-get install nvidia-kernel-common module-assistant # m-a -i -t prepare # m-a clean,a-i -i -t -f nvidia-kernel-source # depmod -a # apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-glx-dev mesa-utils # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (no X on reboot) # dpkg-reconfigure -phogh xserver-xorg (X yes, bot no nvidia driver.) Then I edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf, adding ' Driver "nvidia" ' 'to the ' Section "Device" ', which worked with amd64 but not here (no more X) to regin X, I could either command # dexconf which removed the line ' Driver "nvidia" ' , or replace with ' Driver "nv" ' but in either case no more OpenGl, although libmotif3 is installed.
