Re: No X - Problems with loading Nvidia module
I had the some problem last night.
I fixed it this morning, some how it broke when i upgrade somehting,
but i dont know.
That's the recipe:
note: i'm not sure if all the steps are necesary, that's because it
worked for me this way.
1. rmmod nvidia
2. apt-get remove --purge nvidia-kernel*
3. cd /usr/src
if you have any nvidia*deb in there remove it.
If you have modules/nvidia-kernel, remove the directory too.
Ok, so far, we clean up (i believe something needed to refresh, but i
don't know other way ;) )
5. module-assistant update
6. module-assistant auto-install nvidia
7. apt-get install nvidia-glx
8. modprobe nvidia
9. restart X.
Enjoy nvidia.
