I ran 'dpkg-reconfigure dkms' (which exited after only a few seconds with no messages) and 'dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-kernel-dkms" which seemed to do a number of things. But basically it seemed to uninstall the nvidia module version.319.76 from kernel 3.11-2-686-pae (it said it was active on this kernel) and then load as new the exact same module. It even had an error message: "Error! Module version 319.76 for nvidia-current.ko is not newer than what is already found in kernel 3.11-2-686-pae (319.76). You may override by specifying --force" At the end it says: "DKMS: install completed" But, it did not fix the problem. I tried checking the kernel headers using Aptitude and as far as I can tell I have the following packages for linux-headers installed. These match the 2 kernels I have installed. BTW, I tried booting the older kernel and got the same results. linux-headers-3.11-2-686-pae linux-headers-3.11-2-common linux-headers-686-pae linux-headers-3.10-3-686-pae linux-headers-3.10-3-common That got me thinking again about versions. I searched for "304.*" (the 'mystery' version number that showed in some error messages) and found a whole bunch of 'libcuda' files, all version 304 or older. And a couple of symlinks setting the newest of those as 'libcuda.so' (or something similar). I deleted them all as these must have been leftovers from the downloaded nvidia binary drivers from nvidia. I didn't see that error message on the next boot, but still no X. Installing the latest libcuda (319.76) from Aptitude did help either. The only error message I can find now is from Xorg.0.log: "(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so: undefined symbol: WindowTable" Two lines below that is: "(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (loader failed, 7)" I don't know if the number '7' is significant. I did start a search for the "... undefined symbol: WindowTable" message, but so far nothing really stood out as a likely cause.
