Following "apt-get dist-upgrade" with debian squeeze i386, upgrading from kernel 2.6.30 to 2.6.32, the xserver was broken at "startx" because kernel compiled with gcc 4.3 while now gcc 4.4. I could only boot from previous 2.6.30 to have the xserver at startx.
Following export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.3 I reinstalled the nvidia driver "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.16-pk1.run" for my "GeForce2 MX200 (rev b2)", the driver installed correctly and was reconfigured correctly according to the nvidia installer messages, though, again, it works for 2.6.30, not for 2.6.32.

Now I am using the 2.6.30 kernel with the installation for 2.6.32, which is too bad. thanks francesco pietra -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
