I have been successfully running Debian testing for
a year and a half with only occasional (and fixable) problems, running 'pt-get
dist-upgrade"several times a week.
Today I did "apt-get dist-upgrade" and now
can no longer get into X.
Upon boot, the "NVIDIA" splash will come on, like
normal, then I get dropped back into command line.
I have been using an NVIDIA graphic card, and the
driver from the NVIDIA website, not the one from debian.
Today was a huge upgrade and downloaded over 200
megs of packages, a lot of which were KDE related.
I have tried "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" to no
avail - several times.
I am unable to re-install the NVIDIA driver due to
GCC-4.0 being installed. In the past I had used synaptic to force GCC version
3.3 and was able to compile the driver that way.
I am at a loss as to where to go here. Please help
if you can. Should I try uninstalling the nvidia driver...and use the debian
one? Is this even the problem?
Thanks
