Bug#859684: nvidia-legacy-304xx-kernel-dkms: xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-304xx not installed
Package: nvidia-legacy-304xx-kernel-dkms Version: 304.134-0~deb8u1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I installed nvidia-legacy-304xx-kernel-dkms on a new Jessie install following the procedure in the NvidiaGraphicsDriver wiki. The required xsever-xorg-video- nvidia-legacy-304xx package was not installed and video did not function. lsmod showed the driver loaded with Used by 0. After manually installing the xserver- xorg-video-nvidia-304xx package everthing works as it should. -- Package-specific info: uname -a: Linux ann1 3.16.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.16.39-1+deb8u2 (2017-03-07) i686 GNU/Linux /proc/version: Linux version 3.16.0-4-686-pae (debian-ker...@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 4.8.4 (Debian 4.8.4-1) ) #1 SMP Debian 3.16.39-1+deb8u2 (2017-03-07) /proc/driver/nvidia/version: NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module 304.134 Fri Dec 9 11:47:15 PST 2016 GCC version: gcc version 4.8.4 (Debian 4.8.4-1) lspci 'VGA compatible controller [0300]': 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation G71 [GeForce 7900 GT/GTO] [10de:0291] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: eVga.com.
