The two packages that I was looking for are: nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-glx but nothing *exactly* matches the first one. Does anyone know what comprises the nvidia-kernel-common package?

Hey Emma,Just a side-question, not related to your woes with the nvidia driver directly -- do you absolutely *need* accelerated video support?
If not, when I get into these situations with the "nvidia" non-free driver, I just bail back to the free "nv" driver which my card also supports by changing my X configuration -- then I have slow but workable X to diddle around and fix the nvidia proprietary stuff (again).
Hope that helps, Nate
