Bug#428809: xserver-xorg-core: Add Conflicts: nvidia-glx (= 1.0.8776-4)

So if you make xserver-xorg conflict with older nvidia drivers, then even using the gcc -shared workaround, I won't be able to install it. There must be a better solution? Er, there is nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx exactly for your problem... And it has the right nvidia_drv.so to work with the latest xorg. -- Marc Glisse -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you find out which version of nvidia-glx fixed the problem with xorg-server 1.3, I'll add that conflict. Cheers, Julien -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Quote from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=420450 From: Chris Knadle [...] The release of nvidia-glx 1.0.9755-1 fixes this issue. 1.0.9755-1 is the first version of nvidia-glx uploaded (whether in experimental or unstable) since the introduction of xserver 1.3.0 (both in experimental and unstable) and it contains a nvidia_drv.so, so it seems likely. I guess you could forward the question to the nvidia-glx maintainer for confirmation if you want (I can't find the versions of nvidia-glx between 1.0.8776-4 and 1.0.9755-1 to check).
