Dear Jerome Thank you for that, I didn't really see how having the nvidia driver present mattered when I had the system set to use the (debian, GPL) nv driver and gdm still couldn't find it to start x. I still say that the package maintainers need to address compatibility problems with /etc/X11/xorg.conf for xorg 7. Obviously with the move to xorg 7, drivers aren't really 'bundled' any more although I do have the debian vesa, fb, dummy and nv drivers installed as backup. All will be pleased to know that I have finally found a solution and am back to a fully accelerated x environment. I regret that I forget the exact Ubuntu thread I came across but in essence: remove all debian 'nvidia' and 'glx' packages installed with apt-get. ctrl-alt-f1 (to switch to console) /etc/init.d/gdm stop (to stop xserver) sh nvidia-official-installer --uninstall (to install official proprietary driver distributed by nvidia) sh nvidia-official-installer (to install official nvidia distributed driver) /etc/init.d/gdm restart (to restart xserver with gdm) Thanks to everyone who helped Joshua Jerome Alet wrote: On Mon, Apr 17, 2006 at 06:50:39PM +0100, Joshua Kite wrote: |
