Makes a lot of sense. I cleaned out everything, until 'dpkg -l' did show no more 'nvidia', rebooted, and followed the detailed description in http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers Thanks to the maintainer ! A great description ! Now I have the self-compiled nvidia-kernel-legacy-2.6.18-4-k7 on the same level as the nvidia-glx-legacy from m-a update - m-a prepare - m-a auto-install nvidia-kernel-legacy-source. (The different versions were a result from the difference in the repository, not on my side.) Then I did apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy. Alas, the same result of a fatal server crash. Last resort: I ran Xorg with the XF86Config with which Sarge had been working properly, and hit the same snag. Now I have only one thing left to do: consider this a bug; a show-stopper for me, since I use the box to get movies on the TV-output for viewing on the TV in the living room. I also removed the GLcore and speedo from the xorg.conf, so the problem remains, while nvidia and glx are loaded properly (see attachment), before everything dies. (No, there is no change of hardware compared to Sarge, on which everything was okay; only the update to Etch.) As an aside: I tried the nvidia-legacy-check.sh, and it says my card is supported by current. I have some doubts here, since NVIDIA says differently. The card is GeForce 4 MX420.
