Bug#420523: xserver-xorg-core: Cannot find installed Nvidia driver

2007-04-22 Thread Curt Howland
Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-2
Severity: important


Other people in Debian-user have reported that by downgrading 
xserver-xorg-core this problem goes away.

As of the update yesterday morning, every time I startx, the
following error occurs in /var/log/Xorg.0.log

(WW) Warning, couldn't open module nvidia
(II) UnloadModule: nvidia
(EE) Failed to load module nvidia (module does not exist, 0)

The Nvidia kernel module was not updated yesterday, and it still
shows up:

# modprobe nvidia

Well, ok, but when a Debian package doesn't work after a Debian 
update, I rather consider it a Debian problem.

One person on Debian-user has said that the Nvidia binaries work, _if_ 
the files are put in the new places that the xorg system wants them 
to be.

So yes, I will wait for a new Debian nvidia-kernel-source package. I 
never intended to do anything else.
