I can confirm only the first 4 lines... I have been running the nv 
driver in etch no for so long that my eyes are sore even when I think 
about running debian...

I try every now and then if I can install nvidia-glx (trusting the 
nvidia-kernel package not to be te problem) and what I get is still this:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  nvidia-glx: Depends: xserver-common (>= 4.0.3) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

I have all of Randall Donalds' package directories in my sources.list, 
so the material comes hot off the press...

I guess this has to do with using Xorg instead of Xfree86, but surely 
there must be a way around this?

I tried some archive/web searches but there does not yet seem to be a 
solution for the etch drivers?
