Ok, I'm going to go with the conflicts line alone, no replaces. The replaces line may well break people's X installations because their xorg.conf will be set up to use the nvidia module rather than the built-in nv one, and thus X will fail to start for them. Simply conflicting will allow them to keep a working server until nvidia-glx is fixed. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
