In sum, I got the nvidia-kernel-source package from sid, which brought in a few kernel-related and other building related packages, and then I tried substituting "nvidia" for "nv" in the xorg.conf file. This did not work, since I was using 2.6.21-k7 kernel from Etch, and because it couldn't load the module because of the paravirt ops thing. So I rebooted into sid's kernel (2.6.22-2-k7) and tried to start X again. This time if failed because the module couldn't be found. No duh, because of course, I had compiled nvidia-kernel-source for 2.6.21 and not 2.6.22-2. So OK, I go and rerun m-a a-i nvidia, build it, and then finally I am able to startx again and the nvidia splash screen comes up just like it should :). Oh joy.. and 3d direct rendering works again! sweet! :) compiz may be really really old because it starts out but it froze the whole x session within a minute or so (i just saw a little wobbly in my windows!) and I had to reboot the computer :(. > Francisco > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: nvidia-glx and xorg
Whenever I need to install nVidia drivers, I just go to their web page and download the appropriate installer for Linux. It usually compiles the drivers and installs them without any hassles. I had problems with getting the drivers from standard Debian repositories to work in the past, but the nVidia installer works all the time. I would suggest to try it and see how it goes for you. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have an FX 5200 here, too, and what I did was install module-assistant and then run m-a a-i nvidia. Worked like a charm. It should be noted, though, that if you're running a kernel version greater than 2.21, I think, you may run into problems with paravirtualization, since the precompiled kernels from 2.21 on come with that option turned on by default, which disallows non-GPL kernel modules. If you wanna keep a new kernel you will have to recompile it without that option.

I don't know much about the state of nvidia drivers in lenny, but to pin your install you just need: APT::Default-Release "testing"; in /etc/apt/apt.conf (create it if if doesn't exist). You can check by running 'apt-cache policy'. You should get a higher priority (990) for lenny. Packages from sid you can install by running: aptitude install -t unstable package Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

But I'm getting ready to do the plunge and if it means installing a few things from sid then that's OK. As I recall, it has to do with the kernel mainly because of the configuration situation, and also nvidia-kernel-source has yet to propogate into testing and may not be in testing for the foreseeable future. I am not that well versed in the reasons why, but that's not really important just now. Can you detail more about what you did? Right now, I added in the sources for sid/unstable to /etc/apt/sources.list and did an aptitude update.
