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.
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.
Well, after spending 4 days on it, I've got the packages installed
again, on a fresh install of Xebian. I had to update almost the complete
system toget to this point, so I have no idea if X will work when I get
home. I suspect not, but I've got fingers crossed again...
If this doesn't work, anyone want to buy an Xbox? :)
