And it works. Still some crashes, to be investigated elsewhere, but it works better that the old version on the old kernel. The problem may to have been cross-contamination between different version of nvidia-kernel-source causeb by building both in the same build directory (/usr/src). I used a fresh, empty, build directory this time, and it worked. Perhaps /usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-source/README.Debian should warn users to avoid this kind of comtamination be either (1) starting with a new or emptied build directory every time they have a new version of nvidia-kernel-source (and meybe also when compiling for a new kernel) (2) cleaning out /usr/src if that's where they're building it. And they'll need instructions how to clean it, since the majority of them will not be Debian developers. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
