Thanks for the reply. (Just for reference I just found
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html
BUT: In all places I found (including
http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia/...) there seems to be only
version 7174 for AMD64
AND then I always get complains from the debian/rules scripts that
essentially say that they only work with the kernel-headers
packages but
not with linux-headers ...
What needs to be fixed to get "anything" of nvidia to work with lthe
inux-headers package ?
Works for me with linux-headers. At least 8178-3 does.
Thanks for the reply - as I said the only 8178 I found claimed to be
only for i386.
Now, I went to the nvidia web site and got their driver-installer
script (appr. 9MB) -- it worked right-away (I followed instructions
from
http://wiki.serios.net/wiki/Debian_NVIDIA_proprietary_display_driver_ins
tallation)
Only concern of course now is that I would like to know where the
hell this script put its (glx / module / X ) files .... !?!?!?
All over the place. Which is why you NEVER use the stuff from
nvidia.com directly
Exactly. That said, I think there may be an uninstaller in the package
now? BTW, although Randall Donald says he puts his packages on his own
repository at http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia, he hasn't done
that since December. The main repositories get them, though.
Dave
Please point me to a mirror that has the 8178 version for amd64.
Looking more closely into this I realize I was mistaken -- Randall does
put the files in his archives, but his new syntax puts them in a
different location, and I don't see them in the directory listings.
However, this line gets them:
deb http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia unstable
nvidia-graphics-drivers nvidia-settings nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-xconfig
As you note, they haven't propagated yet for some reason, possibly
related to the inclusion of amd64 in official Debian?
There are ways to build Debian packages from nvidia's sources, patched
or otherwise, cf.
http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/index.html, but Randall
packages save you a lot of trouble. Did you manage to uninstall the
files created by nVidia's installer?
Dave
--> I'm already starting to have problems with building GL programs (it seems
like a "gl.h" mixup after installing xlibmesa-gl-dev ...)
So I'm looking for a NVIDIA deinstall script (it seems all NVIDIA files have
the same creation date ...)
Thanks (I'm back ...)
