Fine. > 2. delete /usr/src/nvidia-source*.tgz Deleting file beloging to packages is generally a bad plan. Don't do that. > 3. delete all formerly built packages (i.e. nvidia-kernel-bla***.deb) Helps to clean up, although not really essential. > 4. deinstall nvidia-source and reinstall the new nvidia-source This of course deletes the /usr/src/nvidia*tgz stuff for you since it actually owns that file. > 5. start module-assistant and choose nvidia-kernel and let it build and > install Except the current driver in unstable doesn't get along with module-assistant due to a "wrong" filename. A symlink or some manual intervention helps. I just manually do: cd /usr/src;tar xjf nvidia-kernel.tar.bz2 then run: m-a a-i -t nvidia-kernel > 6. apt-get update, apt-get upgrade let you now install the newest package > nvidia-glx > 7. update all xserver-xorg* packages. > 8.

Once you get it installed it does work well. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
