Package: nvidia-glx Version: 173.14.09-5 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Hi, After installing nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel-source my X does not start when Xorg.conf tells it to use the nvidia driver. When I start gdm the nvidia logo is displayed and then I get a textmode blank display with a cursor in top left hand corner. When I look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log there are no (EE) lines except relating to amissing font dir. This error message is present when I start X fine with the nv driver. The backtrace at the bottom of Xorg.0.log is missing when X does not start up. However, I noticed that when I type in dmesg I get a new line every time X attempts to start: Xorg[5210]: segfault at fffffffc ip b7fb99de sp bffc6f08 error 4 in ld-2.7.so[b7fac000+1a000] The only thing that changes is what I guess is the PID eg 5120. X starts up if I change the driver to the nv (open source?) one. This sucks because after a period of use X slows to a crawl with the nv driver and I cannot play video files at all. The video card details are below. It is a Dell XPS 1330 laptop. -- Package-specific info: uname -r: Linux mahogony.woodheap.org 2.6.26-1-686 #1 SMP Fri Mar 13 18:08:45 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux /proc/version: Linux version 2.6.26-1-686 (Debian 2.6.26-13lenny2) (da...@debian.org) (gcc version 4.1.3 20080704 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-25)) #1 SMP Fri Mar 13 18:08:45 UTC 2009 /proc/driver/nvidia/version: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400M GS (rev a1) -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages nvidia-glx depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1.1 GCC support library ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl 7.0.3-7 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii nvidia-kernel-2.6.26-1 173.14.09+3 NVIDIA binary kernel module for Li ii x11-common 1:7.3+18 X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime nvidia-glx recommends no packages.
