you should be able to test with nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-340xx 340.76-6 nvidia-graphics-drivers 340.93-1 I don't have the opportunity to make tests requiring frequent reboots. But I did a lot of modprobe tests yesterday and have hopefully identified the solution. You can find it in 340.93-2 (unreleased) and it should be easy to manually apply it to the modprobe.conf in the legacy package. to test: modprobe -v nvidia modprobe -v nvidia-uvm modprobe -r -v nvidia modprobe -r -v nvidia-uvm with different sets of modules loaded before these commands (0, 1, 2) and with the nvidia alternative set to either current or legacy Please also test glx-alternatives from SVN. Drop xorg.conf (or any xorg.conf.d snippet you created) and ensure that the nvidia module is loaded before X is started - Xorg should automatically find and use nvidia now :-) What is needed to make the module loaded at boot? echo nvidia > /etc/modules-load.d/nvidia.conf could be sufficient Andreas
