Hi Brice,
thanks for your fast reply! In the meantime I googled a workaround where to set "-ignoreABI". (http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_XOrg_7.1_With_Older_NVidia_Drivers#Running_X) <http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_XOrg_7.1_With_Older_NVidia_Drivers#Running_X> And I tried to use the libGL modules delivered from xorg with google earth (the actual reason why I use NVIDIA drivers), was happy that it started at all - but then my system froze almost with the first zoom action. Workaround for KDM in debian: Add -ignoreABI to /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc to following line: ServerCmd=/usr/bin/X -br -ignoreABI A disadvantage is that xorg packages replace the files libGLcore.so and libglx.so in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions not using symlinks. This leads to permanent struggle with NVIDIA installation which per default uses symlinks and mourns about this. My card only works with the legacy 9639 driver. I wonder if NVIDIA will deliver an update for it anyway...
