Solved - Nvidia video driver problem

[Russ Cook]

Solved.  Xorg was outdated.  Updated with dselect, and the nvidia
driver works now.  Thanks to Lennart Sorensen for pointing me in
the right direction!

I did apt-get update && upgrade today.

the latest nvidia-kernel-source using apt-get.

To: debian amd64 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, debian-user@lists.debian.org I'm running an amd64, with 64bit linux (Sid), with evga 8800gts graphics card. Then I downloaded latest linux source 2.6.26.5 from kernel.org, and downloaded I compiled a custom kernel and latest nvidia-kernel-source according to procedures outlined at http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers . I've done this before successfully,

and was running Nvidia driver before this action.

the nv open source driver.
Looking in /usr/lib/xorg/modules, I have a symlink libwfb.so pointing to

it in the Xorg.log file, attached.  It also complains about module type1.

Can anyone offer help or suggestions?

The problem is that X will not start now with the Nvidia driver. It WILL start with libnvidia-wfb.so.100.14.11, which doesn't exist in this directory, and X complains about

Xorg.0.log.old
