You should have either nvidia-kernel-173.14.09 or nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-96.43.07 not both. For you card the legacy driver is not needed. Current works fine. So remove nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx-dev nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx-ia32 nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-2.6-amd64 nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-2.6-openvz-amd64 nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-2.6.26.2-amd64 nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-2.6.26.2-openvz-amd64 nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-source nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-96.43.07 Then make sure you have nvidia-kernel-source installed. Build it for your current kernel with: m-a a-i -t nvidia Then install nvidia-glx Then use nvidia-xconfig to update the xorg.conf to use the nvidia driver rather than nv. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
