By any chance did you try using the nvidia driver straight from nvidia's website? I have never had issues with the one from them, though at the same time I have never tried the driver provided in the debian repos. If you go that route, the nvidia installer requires the version of gcc used to build the kernel to build the nvidia module. Since the default gcc is set to gcc-4.3 (unless it was changed by the user) the installer requires you to export a CC variable set to the version of gcc needed to build the nvidia kernel (this will be gcc-4.1 on Lenny). The installer also updates the xorg.conf file to use the new module. -- Brent Kolasinski CUIR Tech Center University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Engelmann B26 (414)-229-6363 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
