nvidia-glx vs. xserver-common
Hello :)
I have debian testing and I have upgraded more or less successfully to
xorg 7.0. If I use X window with "nv" driver, everything seems to work
well. There is one problem though.
In order to enjoy nvidia accelerated graphics, I need to build nvidia
kernel module and also install nvidia-glx package and this is the
problem. For some reason it got removed during the upgrade.
Now I want it back. But when I mark it with "+" in aptitude, it shows as
broken, because it depends on xserver-common (>=4.0.3).
Ok than, I proceed to xserver-common and now I cannot mark it with "+"
at all. I see it replaces x11-common 1:7.0.22 and xserver-xorg 1:7.0.22
which are both installed. I was not brave enough to try to remove them
first and than install the xserver-common package. Is it the right way
to go?
Still I do not understand this behaviour. Why was nvidia-glx removed? I
was searching for bug reports but could not find any. So I assume there
must be some explanation (e.g. it is not a bug).
So what is the problem? I think I am missing something. Is there other
place I should look at?
Best regards
Michal
