Hi, can you provide a log of what exactly have been upgraded during the update ? (/var/log/apt/history.log or /var/log/aptitude) What gives: dpkg -l |grep nvidia update-alternatives --display libglx.so and same for libGL.so ? What gives: modinfo nvidia | grep vermagic Is "nouveau" blacklisted when you try the nvidia driver ? if not you could try that. Did the xorg.conf file changed at all, the "Driver "nvidia"" stanza is still there ? Just some hints to get you started, I am on wheezy/Sid amd64 with nvidia driver (GTS250), no problem as of today. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
