hi folks,

need some help on the strange behaviour on installing of one of the
newest nvidia-drivers from their website for specific needs.
1. i installed etch from a daily build, 15/2/2007.
2. got the graphics working with the debian_vesa driver
3. downloaded the nvidia-instller from their website (see in the log
further on for the exact version)
4. as root i installed this driver.

so far so good.

but, after restarting my machine, debian complained it could not find
nvidia-ko etc. see /var/log/ further on.

is there somebody out there with some clues? and, what can be done about
this?

(yesterday
the linux-driver page of nvidia-com was not online: this is exceptional)

(for the rest: my 'normal' graphics are runneing fine on the debian "nv"
driver, but I STILL NEED the other not native one.
<snip>
/etc/X11/xorg.conf:

<snip>
Section "Device"
Identifier "Generieke videokaart"
Driver "nv"
BusID "PCI:0:5:0"
EndSection

That reference (the "nv") is the open source driver. You can replace it
with "nvidia" manually, or better yet, run as root:

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Then go through the menus and choose the appropriate driver (and other
settings that are appropriate for your computer).
