Unfortunately it seems m-a doesn't understand the current version of the nvidia driver. It claims it can't find the source archive (it is /usr/src/nvidia-kernel-source.tar.bz2). Doing this worked for me: cd /usr/src rm -rf modules/nvidia* tar xjf nvidia-kernel-source.tar.bz2 m-a a-i -t nvidia m-a still can't find the source, but since I already extracted it for it, it now builds an up to date module rather than continuing to reuse the extracted source from version 100 or so. After that nvidia-glx has no problem upgrading since there is now a matching kernel module package installed. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
