    So .. i like make my kernel image by myself, and use the nvidia
installer .. i never had problems. A lot gnu/debian versions .. stable
or unstable+experimental .. i never had problems. But the nv module
works great ..

So now aim using the beta nvidia driver and it's works great ..

Packages are a much better idea to use.

initially but will cause a breakage down the road when doing something

I eventually found that out.  But it took a couple of years to happen, and
it only broke on my 64-bit system.

My solution on that system?

Avoid the nvidia driver, and use the nv driver.

It seems faster (for normal desktop work), and it handles dual monitors (two
video cards), though not TwinView.

So, ultimately, my mistake actually turned out to be a benefit.

Though I'm /still/ using the regular nvidia binary installer on my 32-bit
work laptop.

What bugged me more was the latest xorg transition.

Anyway, I hope Debian doesn't get as wrapped-around-the-axle with scripting
the way RedHat did by version 8 (long ago).  That's what prompted me to stop
using RedHat.

Until the next xorg upgrade overwrites one of the files and breaks things.
Packages are a much better idea to use.

The nvidia installer is one of those awful things that works fine
initially but will cause a breakage down the road when doing something
seemingly unrelated.

Unless you want your system to be like windows, just avoid 3rd party
installers.

Like 180.44 or something?

Re: Re: Need older nvidia-kernel-source (vers. 180.x.x)

2009-06-15 Thread Hans-J. Ullrich
Hi Randall, 

thanks for the older package. I checked it out and can now verify: There is a 
bug in nvidia-kernel or nvidia-glx.

As I could not find out, which of the two, I could not send a bugreport. So I 
do it here.

I also can not test on a 32-bit system, so this report is amd64-related only.

Description:

Using nvidia- version 180.x.x is running stable and fine.

With an update to latest version 185.x.x it appears, whenever I start the 
application "tvbrowser" (which is needing and using heavy java), the 
windowmanager crashes. Crashes means: windows get puzzeled and look wiered 
(not easy to describe, sorry). 

It seems, this happens mostly running in KDE4, while this seldom appeared in 
lightweighted windowmanagers like XFCE or fluxbox.

Does this help a little bit? I will be pleased to send more information, if 
required.


Greetings


Hans-J. Ullrich

Need older nvidia-kernel-source (vers. 180.x.x)

2009-06-14 Thread Hans-J. Ullrich
Hi all,

due to some crashes at the latest nvidia-driver of sid (version 185.x.x), I 
would like to get back to the version before, which was 180.x.x.

Sadly I could not find it on snapshots.debian.net, so I hope, some maintainer 
might have it on his system and could send it to me or to snapshot.debian.net.

My system is amd64.

Would be nice!

Thank you

Hans
