Hi Karsten,
Fix your smtp server so that it stops timing out.
The DSL was burned after a lightning bolt abd the server not reachable.
So i installed
# aptitude install nvidia-glx-legacy-173xx nvidia-kernel-dkms
No, just install nvidia-glx-legacy-173xx (as suggested by
nvidia-detect); its dependencies will ensure that you have a working
nvidia 173.xx driver installed. Installing nvidia-kernel-dkms on
wheezy will actually pull in the default 304.xx driver series, which
is obviously not what you want. If you take a look at the log file you
attached in your followup message...

It's no surprise that X won't load, given that you're trying to use
the nvidia 304.xx driver series with hardware that doesn't support it.
O.K. - but why the 304.117 driver is installed when i install dkms?
It would be better that there is a dependency that announces a conflict when i
want to have a 173xx driver.
That's what i am meaning - it is really hard to keep an overview what you must
install and what dependencies exist.
nouveau should work, yes; if it doesn't, please file a bug against the kernel. Have you tried fetching a kernel from
wheezy-backports and seeing if you can run nouveau using a newer kernel? Regards, Vincent
As i have written nouveau failed because it does not support this hardware.
But the nouveau driver from Knoppix is doing it.
Experiments with new kernels in an stable working environment is causing more
problems than solving it.
Then you have X but you loose sound or some interface hardware ...
Best regards
Karsten
