Probably not --- I've been using the nvidia installer for many years, and it always worked fine. Then I changed one setting on my kernel and found I couldn't boot it anymore and had to switch to kernel packages and to use the Debian packages for the nvidia driver. I haven't tried yet if I can boot self-compiled kernels again. > understand nothing about video drivers.

Yes, aptitude says it would remove some packages and would probably leave me without X if I'd let it, too. You always need to check what will happen when updating. -- html messages are obsolete -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
