Package: nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx Version: 96.43.18-2 Severity: wishlist
nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx driver is often late, and prevent to update system (X version or kernel version). But most of time the new driver that work exist on nvida.com. May be it could be a good idea to have script that fetch the driver from nvidia.com, extract drivers and install them on the system. -- Package-specific info: uname -a: Linux mat-pc 2.6.37-1-686 #1 SMP Tue Feb 15 18:21:50 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux /proc/version: Linux version 2.6.37-1-686 (Debian 2.6.37-1) (b...@decadent.org.uk) (gcc version 4.4.5 (Debian 4.4.5-10) ) #1 SMP Tue Feb 15 18:21:50 UTC 2011 /proc/driver/nvidia/version: NVRM version: NVIDIA Linux x86 Kernel Module 96.43.18 Tue Jul 13 13:16:20 PDT 2010 GCC version: gcc version 4.4.5 (Debian 4.4.5-11) lspci 'VGA compatible controller [0300]': 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 MX 440] [10de:0171] (rev a3) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap+ 66MHz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 248 (1250ns min, 250ns max) Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 16 Region 0: Memory at de000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Region 1: Memory at d0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] Region 2: Memory at ddb80000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=512K] [virtual] Expansion ROM at dfde0000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: nvidia -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.37-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to fr_FR) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx depends on: ii dpkg 1.15.8.10 Debian package management system ii libc6 2.11.2-11 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgl1-nvidia-legacy-96xx-gl 96.43.18-2 NVIDIA binary OpenGL libraries (96 ii libglx-nvidia-alternatives 195.36.31-7 simplifies replacing Xorg module l ii nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-dk 96.43.18-2 NVIDIA binary kernel module DKMS s ii xserver-xorg-core [xorg-vide 2:1.7.7-11 Xorg X server - core server nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx recommends no packages.
