I just finished upgrading my kernel to 2.6.22.11.12 and I could not get nvidia to load no matter what I did. I tried depmod like before, and it didn't work. I then did:
$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-glx $ sudo modprobe nvidia to no avail. Just to be sure, I tried depmod again, which resulted in the same error as before. I then booted into the 2.6.22.10 kernel and the nvidia module loaded fine, without the need for depmod: $ uname -a Linux atlas 2.6.22-10-386 #1 Wed Aug 22 07:43:24 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux $ lsmod | grep nv nvidia 4714036 22 i2c_core 25104 1 nvidia agpgart 33584 2 nvidia,intel_agp $ dmesg | grep -i nvidia [ 53.241245] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
