X problems

[harsha <harshu@hd2.vsnl.net.in>]

hi,
   i was using a potato system. i did a dist-upgrade to woody. the upgrade went without a hitch but for X. some packages were of version 3.3.6-18. i tried removing 3.3.6-18 but said dependency problems. 

I have Riva TNT2 ULTRA card. downloaded the binary drivers from nvidia and installed them. 

i am a newbie so didn't know i how it is quite worked. so assumed that i could safely remove xserver-svga. but that left me with out X. i am not quite clear on how to solve this. 

another thing i found when i tried to run mplayer -vo xv it says that XVideo definton missing. could someone give me links as to what this is all about. i wanted to use xine. but for a fs mode one needs Xv. 

how can i get this working,

thanks is advance,
regards
harsha
