Re: Need older nvidia-kernel-source (vers. 180.x.x)
You can get nvidia source from nvidia. http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_amd64_display_archive.html The source is inside the install package.

Re: ALSA not working in chroot environment
Actually you shouldn't have to create the devices. If you just install alsa-base everything should be fine. I tried out flashplayer 9 yesterday in my 32bit chroot with 32bit galeon and it worked beautifully. Surprisingly enough the 32bit flash player 9 even played nice with dmix and my 64bit apps. I don't have to kill ogg123 or anything else to get sound with flash in galeon any longer.

Re: nvidia video drivers
It is very simple and easy to set things up using the latest installer from the nvidia website. If you choose to go that route then there is only one thing that you need to know. The installer from the nvidia website puts your drivers and extensions in the old modules location which is: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/ All you need to do to get things working with the nvidia installer is copy the contents of the extensions/ and drivers/ directories over to the new location which is: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/ Or you can use ln to link the directories. rm -rf /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions ln -s /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions ln -s /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers Then all you have to do is run the installer. As far as I know this doesn't interfere with any debian packages and is even easier than the Debian Way. Enjoy.

Re: mouse wheel stops working
That's not a lot of info to work with but if a reboot fixes it you might try to just reload the kernel module next time, assuming you're using a module.

Re: quake4 on debian amd64
Oh, and if you used nvidia-installer from www.nvidia.com, then you're probably screwed unless you want to put in an unneccessary amount of effort to un-screw things. Not true at all. All I use are the installers from nvidia.com. The installer will install the 64bit driver and libs and the 32bit libs. All you have to do is make sure the symlinks are ok in /usr/lib/ and make sure the libglx.so extension is the one from the installer. It really isn't that hard to do. If you have a basic knowledge of ln and know how the libs should be setup it only takes 2 or 3 minutes to use the installer and have a perfectly working system.

Re: quake4 on debian amd64
Why exactly aren't you just using packages, rather than having some random script overwrite bits of /usr for kicks? Some things I just prefer to do myself. I've been using Linux since '97 and got used to doing things for myself very early on. When it comes to video drivers and kernels and even simple things like alsa I would rather just do it myself. It literally takes me 2 to 3 minutes to have everything setup and ready with the installers from nvidia.com. I would much rather do it that way and know everything works, and why everything works, than depend on a package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Confused: nvidia on AMD64???
Hey, to each his own. I was just stating my personal preference but I do encourage others to do the same. If you know how to use a few simple tools like ls and ln you shouldn't have any problems at all with the driver package from nvidia's site. I never have. I do find it sad, however, that so many people who use debian don't know how to do anything without help from the distro. The last time I was in the IRC channel half of the people there didn't even know how to get kernel source from kernel.org and were entirely dependant on the distribution for their source. It's my opinion that this sort of depenancy would fall under the windows like behavior you mentioned previously. Certainly you wouldn't prefer a bunch of sheeple that don't even know how to build thier own kernels or do something as simple as install video drivers for themselves. I hope that's not were the community is headed.

Unfortunately the nvidia installer assumes you run redhat or similar and makes a lovely mess of the filesystem. It is highly discouraged to do something so windows like to your debian system. Windows is quite unstable in many cases, and it is often _not_ directly microsoft's fault, although encouraging everyone to write their own installers and putting files everywhere is their fault. We try to encourage the saner approach in debian. This means anything in /usr (except /usr/local), /bin, /sbin, /lib, belongs to dpkg/apt and nothing else has any business putting files there. If they do, dpkg is allowed and expected to overwrite the files at will. The debian packages for the nvidia driver puts things in the right place, uses dpkg so the files won't be overwritten by other things and won't overwrite existing files, and it just works and is easy to manage. Certainly easier to installing it from the nvidia package. If you want your system slightly broken, that is your choice. Please don't encourage others to repeat it though.
