You need the dependancies for it too. apt-get -f install MIGHT fix those for you. You of course also have to install nvidia-kernel-source and build the modules for your current kernel (m-a -t a-i nvidia).

Re: nvidia-glx vs. xserver-common
Hello... :) well, this is what I have done a moment before :) I downloaded the .deb file from: http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia/dists/unstable/nvidia-graphics-drivers/binary-amd64/ than I ran as root: # dpkg -i nvidia-glx_1.0.8178-3_amd64.deb Selecting previously deselected package nvidia-glx. (Reading database ... 134769 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking nvidia-glx (from nvidia-glx_1.0.8178-3_amd64.deb) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of nvidia-glx: nvidia-glx depends on xserver-common (>= 4.0.3); however: Package xserver-common is not installed. dpkg: error processing nvidia-glx (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: nvidia-glx # A have also read through http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=354961 which indicates, that the dependency should be already changed to x11-common. ??? I do not understand where is the problem now... Best regards Michal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: nvidia-glx vs. xserver-common
You don't state which version of nvidia-glx you're trying to use. Xorg7 requires nvidia-glx 1.0.8178-3 (or higher), or nvidia-glx-legacy 1.0.7174-3 (or higher) Michal Hajek wrote: Hello :) I have debian testing and I have upgraded more or less successfully to xorg 7.0. If I use X window with "nv" driver, everything seems to work well. There is one problem though. In order to enjoy nvidia accelerated graphics, I need to build nvidia kernel module and also install nvidia-glx package and this is the problem. For some reason it got removed during the upgrade. Now I want it back. But when I mark it with "+" in aptitude, it shows as broken, because it depends on xserver-common (>=4.0.3). Ok than, I proceed to xserver-common and now I cannot mark it with "+" at all. I see it replaces x11-common 1:7.0.22 and xserver-xorg 1:7.0.22 which are both installed. I was not brave enough to try to remove them first and than install the xserver-common package. Is it the right way to go? Still I do not understand this behaviour. Why was nvidia-glx removed? I was searching for bug reports but could not find any. So I assume there must be some explanation (e.g. it is not a bug). So what is the problem? I think I am missing something. Is there other place I should look at?
