That's exactly what happened to me when I updated my system. Debian
has decided to force us to upgrade from XFree86 to XOrg, so even if
you don't ask for a new X installation you'll get one anyway unless
you manually put a hold on a few packages. Checking the /var/log/X*
messages for a line with (EE) in it will show you that the new
Xserver can't load the old nForce video driver.
Well, I tried to not let it upgrade any of the X stuff, but I must have
missed something.
I went to the nvidia site and downloaded a program that will build
the correct module, but it requires a properly-configured kernel
source that matches the running kernel. I'll try doing that as soon
as I find documentation explaining how linux boots on the XBox (it's
neither lilo nor grub) so I can (hopefully) get it all running on 2.6.
I was going to try that, maybe I'll get adventurous tonight.
Thanks
Tom
