I thought I would give an update. I uninstalled the nvidia driver I downloaded from Nvidia's website. When I uninstalled the driver with NVIDIA-Linux-x86-71.86.14-pkg1.run --uninstall it gave me a message that it had changed since installation and that it would try to uninstall it; don't know w

Remove the nvidia driver. The Vanta uses the legacy driver anyway, so if you really wanted DRM (Direct Render Manager) you could install that driver. I believe it even exists in the non-free Debian repo (it likely has not changed in years). For now remove the nvidia driver that you downloaded fr

I can look agin. Looked to me that it couldn't load the driver. Check your lib versions. Try loading it manually. If my guess is right this this is my MAIN bitch with unix/linux and the way it is programmed. I'm a programmer. I was _always_ able to determine *WHY* something didn't work and

The files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d are: 10-evdev.conf, 20-wacom.conf, 50-synaptics.conf I don't see anything in them about nvidia I could remove the nvidia driver if that would help. I installed the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-71.86.14-pkg1.run from Nvidia's website, but can't get it to work with my v

Your xorg.conf looks like it is trying to use the 'nv' driver, but Xorg is trying to load nvidia_drv.so. Is there anything in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d that is trying to load nvidia_drv.so? -Mark C. On Tue, Mar 29, 2011 at 10:48 AM, Joe S wrote: > Using Debian Squeeze > Using KDE > > I was abl
