It's probably not a conflict but just a bug in the other package. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer

What does dpkg -S /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so show on your system, and what version of the listed package do you have installed? I don't know of any bugs in the diversions of the current version of the nvidia packages; adding conflicts/depends because of buggy older versions of packages is sometimes done, but not required, so I'm downgrading this bug in any case.

I guess the nvidia package is a bit old to be expected to work with xorg7, but its the most recent that's been in testing, so I expect other will have this issue. -- Chris Jones, SUCS Admin http://sucs.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
