You need version 1.4 not version 1.3 of the xserver-xorg-core to use the nvidia-glx driver from version 169.07 How did you get nvidia-glx to install (or can I turn it off?) nvidia-glx is the driver for X that talks to the kernel module. The kernel module is useless without the matching driver. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Gnome takeover
I got a rar file with a bunch of mpc files in it. When i tried to play one it opened with gnome's movieplayer but had no codec. That's fine, but why did the windowmanager change? As soon as the player opened all the icons, titlebars etc turned to gnome's default. i'm using xfce and i like it and there was no aparent reason for this to happen. Plus, it crashed mozilla. Guess i'll follow some threads and rm everything gnome. Or i'll just reisntal the whole thing. y biggest partition is my XP's fat32 where most of my files are but i have problems copying to/from it unicode issues mostly, i suppose) and i almost never use XP anyway so i could use some of that space. And just stick to etx3 everywhere, /home included. If needed i have an external fat32 drive to talk to Bill. While searching for the musepack codec i ran across xmms and xmms2... er... what's the difference? Is there any kind of wrapper or something where you can centralize all your prefs? Meaning one application that stores and enforces your default sxerver, display manager, window manager, file manager... With all this experimenting i have a crowded drive with packages i most certainly do not use and no apparent coherence. -- Fica bem, porta-te mal.

Using force pretty much always leaves you with a broken dependancy set which will have to be fixed before you can install or upgrade anything else. So yes it might make the package be installed, but it won't leave things working properly. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

The package needing to be downloaded is nvidia-kernel-source with something like this apt-get source nvidia-kernel-source as normal user this after having made a new directory and changed into it as the source package is downloaded into the current directory where the command is run from. I would not force it installing it will probably just break your install until you upgraded to the newer X. having modified it so that it will install with the X version being 2:1.3 I have: wajig list xorg ii xorg1:7.2-5 X.Org X Window System ii xserver-xorg1:7.2-5 the X.Org X server ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12 X.Org X server -- core server I think you are referring to the version of xserver-xorg-core ?

(Thanks in advance!) Done you should be getting four emails with a package attached to each. You would only need to remove the currently installed ones install the source .deb I send you build/install the binary module then install the -glx and you are good to go. Stephen Did you send the patch to the package maintainer? Wouldn't be much of a patch it is only changing a single digit in the nvidia-glx section of the control file, it would probably be just be classified as a wishlist bug and not fixed anyways. PS: No need to CC me I read the list, thanks. Stephen Oh also if your board is like mine and you get the fan running at 100% with this driver installed then install the nvclock program and use nvclock -f -F 50 as normal user to lower it to 50% or you can go lower with the number if you wish.

I have not been following this thread completely, but I am at a loss. Why not just follow these directions: http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#head-ba6a83e61cea90c0e3e5e9d7b014618e35f65ec3 This has always just worked for me. Most notable is the first method. With out fail, it just worked. Of course, setting up dual head monitor takes some tweaking of your xorg. conf file but you can always try nvidia-settings or nvidia-xconfig and see if they can find the correct settings for you.
