    Hello,

    I am unable to use the nvidia module compiled from nvidia-kernel-source
    that is used with the nvidia-glx package. On boot-up, the computer
    freezes when gdm starts. The error message I get in the logs is

    Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module

    This is using a 2.6.7 compiled kernel on Debian unstable system.

    I have tried recompiling the kernel, as well as reinstalling the entire
    system to no avail. The nv module works fine.

    I cannot obtain any more log messages as the computer freezes and
    requires reboot, losing any messages before they are written to the hard
    drive.

    I think the problem started after an apt-get update/upgrade, the
    nvidia-glx package may have been upgrade.

    Has anyone else had trouble like this? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Tim
