Yes. Also, # apt-get remove nvidia-kernel-dkms
# apt-get install nvidia-kernel-dkms (which, in the year 2011, served to clear the driver at /lib/modules/2.6.38-2-amd64/updates/dkms. But now the kernel was 3.2.) left the issue unaltered. # modinfo nvidia ERROR: module nvidia not found $ dpkg -l |grep nvidia |less shows libl1-nvidia-glx:amd64 319.60 and libg1-nvidia-legacy-304xx--glx:amd64 304.108-4 NVIDIA metapackage rc nvidia-glx 304.88-1-deb7u1 nvidia-legacy-304xx-driver 304.108-4 nvidia-legacy-304xx-kernel-dkms 304.108-4 nvidia-settings-legacy-303xx 304.108-2 xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-304xx 304.108-4 Everything else 319.60-1 and cuda 5.0 I don't understand why these 304xx are threatening.
