Re: nvidia drivers and 2.6.13.4
I've installed the driver from nvidia.com version 1.0-7676, the device
files nvidia0 and nvidiactl are created but after restart X stiil
doesn't start. When I try to start kdm a blank screen is what I get and
if press enter it returns to console. In Xorg.log.0 the last line tells
me about initializing GLX, but no error is reported. Exactly what
version of kernel are you using?

Hi,
Which version of the nvidia module are you using?
Grab the one from experimental. I had this problem too only a week or
two ago. It is because the one in unstable did not support some new
kernel thingy for automatically creating device nodes in /dev.
The debian kernel package creates the /dev files manually when you
install it, which is why it works until the next reboot.
The experimental version (7676) at the time I got it works fine.
cheers
