Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg
I updated two system from Hardy to Intrepid this week - October 21 and
October 23. Both have nvidia cars in them. I followed the process I
have in the past to change my /etc/apt.d/sources.list references from
hardy to intrepid and hashed out any third party repositories. I then
ran sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude dist-upgrade.
Following the upgrade reboot X failed to start because no nvidia module
was installed. I had to manually install the proper nvidia-glx-### (if
I recall nvidia-glx-new did not work the first time). Following the
install of the driver the Xserver would not run due to my old
configuration still containing the RgbPath option. Once I commented
this line out things were fine. Alternately, I could run dpkg-
reconfigure xserver-xorg, but doing this and attempting to start X tried
to load in the nv module which was not present on my system. I had to
manually edit the xorg.conf file to resolve this.
Maybe, when install xserver-xorg or another related packaged, if there
is an existing xorg.conf file that can be parsed to check for
incompatibilities like RgbPath and hash out or remove the line.
