Grab a fresh clean kernel off kernel.org and grab the kernel and glx sources here, ftp://ftp.evil3d.net/pub/Evil3D/Linux/NVIDIA/NVIDIA_kernel-0.9-769.tar.gz ftp://ftp.evil3d.net/pub/Evil3D/Linux/NVIDIA/NVIDIA_GLX-0.9-769.tar.gz compile said software and install. Now debian does some things that nvidia's driver dosn't like, like putting the following files back when they *NEED* to be removed to get the NVidia module and all glx components to work. (And they'll come back after every upgrade.) /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.a /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 (linked to libGL.so.1.2, so relink to nvidia libGL) After these are removed, running glxinfo should no longer kill your X session. If it does, please post the sections of the XFree86.0.log regarding glx modules being loaded etc. Good Luck, -- Thomas J.
