Re: nvidia dies hard after upgrade Sarge-Etch
Now I have only one thing left to do: consider this a bug; a show-stopper for me, since I use the box to get movies on the TV-output for viewing on the TV in the living room. I also removed the GLcore and speedo from the xorg.conf, so the problem remains, while nvidia and glx are loaded properly (see attachment), before everything dies. (No, there is no change of hardware compared to Sarge, on which everything was okay; only the update to Etch.) As an aside: I tried the nvidia-legacy-check.sh, and it says my card is supported by current. I have some doubts here, since NVIDIA says differently. The card is GeForce 4 MX420. The latter is my fault: There are now two legacy-drivers available, but the 'current' one in Etch still supports my card. So I tried again, using the 'normal' driver. This time it worked. Not quite, though, because the TV-out is still unavailable, due to another bug in here: #414782 And this time the Nvidia-installer won't help, because this time it is a bug in Debian's Xorg. Altogether, the update Sarge-Etch - at least to me - closely resembles the step from XP-Vista. Only, the RedMond people somehow know what crap they are doing; while in here I'm told by QA that Nvidia isn't in Etch, lpr is exotic (deprecated ?), and everyone else seems to migrate their xfce4-settings splendidly from Sarge to Etch. Exactly what you expect Quality Assurance to state. - Not !?

Re: nvidia dies hard after upgrade Sarge-Etch
Some detail: I did reboot; with nv it works. Any hint appreciated, same scenario for me, i didnt read all the details though, but this helped: sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8756-pkg2.run --x-prefix=/usr/lib/xorg you could do some googling regarding the new xorg x prefix and the nvidia driver. -matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
