I'm trying to check it out further. The problem is that I can't find anything in the syslog, XFree86 logs or xsession-errors to indicate any problems with the X Window.
Unfortunately I have one workstation and when the GUI goes out it's a little hard to get to my email.
I've always been using the Vanilla versions from NVidia. I didn't know there was anything available under Debian. A little more searching shows theres a number of packages to choose from, but they all appear to be for the 2.4 kernel. For the 2.6 kernel, can you show me which packages I would use?
My guess would be nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-source as a minimum. tallison@isengard:~$ apt-cache search nvidia nvclock - Allows you to overclock your nVidia card under GNU/Linux nvclock-gtk - Allows you to overclock your nVidia card under GNU/Linux nvclock-qt - Allows you to overclock your nVidia card under GNU/Linux nvtv - Tool to control TV chips on NVidia cards under Linux nvidia-kernel-common - NVIDIA binary kernel module common files nvidia-glx - NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x driver nvidia-glx-dev - NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x driver development filesnvidia-kernel-2.4.27-1-386 - NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.4.27-1-386 nvidia-kernel-2.4.27-1-586tsc - NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.4.27-1-586tsc nvidia-kernel-2.4.27-1-686 - NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.4.27-1-686 nvidia-kernel-2.4.27-1-686-smp - NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.4.27-1-686-smp nvidia-kernel-2.4.27-1-k6 - NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.4.27-1-k6 nvidia-kernel-2.4.27-1-k7 - NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.4.27-1-k7 nvidia-kernel-2.4.27-1-k7-smp - NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.4.27-1-k7-smp
