I just built a sid box from bare metal last week, and am having problems
getting the nVidia drivers to load. I tried this under 2.4.23 and 2.6.0,
and in both cases, the module refuses to load. At this point, I'm not sure
if it is a module loader problem or within X. X itself is reporting:
XFree86 Version 4.2.1.1 (Debian 4.2.1-14 20031113215638 [EMAIL PROTECTED]) / X Window
System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
Release Date: 18 October 2002
...
Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.22-rc2 i686 [ELF]
Module Loader present
Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting,
(++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational,
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Mon Dec 29 16:10:13 2003
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config-4"
Then there pages of
Not loading .note.GNU-stack
Not loading .note.GNU-stack
...and finally...
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
Not loading .note.GNU-stack
(EE) No drivers available.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
This happens whether I load the module by hand or not. The nvidia devices
(nvidia[0123] and nvidiactl) exist in /dev.
Since this is happening on the 2.4 kernel as well as 2.6, it has to be a
common system, but I can't find the problem. The nv driver works fine,
though.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Your threat environment should dictate your security posture. You generally
don't see Mayberry-style small-town police forces toting automatic weapons
and anti-aircraft missiles. By the same token, a sling and stones hasn't
worked in a combat environment since David's time and he had God's help.
