I am running etch. A while ago, I dist-upgraded from xserver-xfree86 to

it worked fine.
After my dist-upgrade, I have xserver-xorg working with the free nv
driver. When I try to use the non-free etch nvidia driver for 3D, I get
the following message:
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
There aren't any error messages (EE) in my Xorg.0.log. I've attached it
for completeness.
The nvidia driver is loaded.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsmod | egrep nvidia
nvidia 3922076 0
agpgart 35560 2 nvidia,intel_agp
I see the NVidia splash screen before the X server crashes. I don't have
all the nvidia devices that this HOWTO suggests I should have:
http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/troubleshooting.html
Could this be some kind of udev problem? I didn't have udev before. I
also haven't been able to bring up my 865's builtin sound, though I
haven't tried very hard yet.
If anybody has any ideas about how I could fix this or how I could find
out what is wrong, I'd be glad for the help.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Pearce
Is the nVidia driver compiled for the 2.6.8 or the 2.6.12 kernel? I
hear that makes a difference...
each time you use a new kernel you have to recompile the module: you can
use the -K option, which recompiles only the module and not the X driver
(which does not need recompilation)
hope this helps
