nvidia-glx Version: 1.0.4496-2.1
Dear Sir,
I have an NVIDIA Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 MX440] video card that
worked fine with the nvidia-glx_1.0.4191-1_i386.deb that I got from
Justin A <justin@bouncybouncy.net>'s web page about nine months ago.
Now, during a routine update/upgrade cycle, the package
nvidia-glx_1.0.4496-2.1_i386.deb maintained by you was installed but I
could not get X up after that.
Accordingly, I manually downgraded by going to /var/cache/apt/archives
and using dpkg -i to install the previous version.
I have two questions:
(1) Why does the new version not work?
(2) How can I prevent the newer versions from ever being installed, if
(1) cannot be fixed? I have in /etc/apt/preferences the lines:
Package: nvidia-*
Pin: release v=1.0.4191-1
Pin-Priority: 1000
but they do not seem to work.
Can you help please?
Many thanks.
