You're right Norbert! Many thanks. I don't know how I missed that, which is literally exactly what I did. I scanned the listings for a '-2-' version of the nvidia-kernel and just didn't see it. You prompted me to look again, and of course it was there. I'm still wondering how the system seemed to be working fine for 3 months with the '-2-' image and the '-1-' nvidia, but I'm delighted to have the current problem solved so simply. -- Rich -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
