I had been using nvidia's accelerated driver (version 6106) plus kernel 2.6.8 without trouble with Sid until Nov 10 (I had done a dist-upgrade the previous evening). Now, X says the nvidia driver does not exist. I noticed that there was a newer version of the nvidia driver (6629) as well as kernel 2.6.9, so I compiled a new kernel and new modules in the "Debian Way" using make-kpkg, installed both resulting .debs, updated Grub, but I still have the same problem. If I do a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86, the nvidia driver does not appear as an option. I confirmed that I really had installed the nvidia-kernel*2.6.9*deb with dpkg. Has there been a recent change in XFree86 that causes it to look in different places for drivers than previously? I am using the version currently in Sid (4.3.0.dfsg.1-8). If there has been a recent update to XFree86 causing this behavior, how can I most easily go back to the old version? Alternatively, is there a symlink I could create to tell XFree86 where to find the nvidia driver?
