nvidia driver problem
hi folks,
need some help on the strange behaviour on installing of one of the
newest nvidia-drivers from their website for specific needs.
1. i installed etch from a daily build, 15/2/2007.
2. got the graphics working with the debian_vesa driver
3. downloaded the nvidia-instller from their website (see in the log
further on for the exact version)
4. as root i installed this driver.
so far so good.
but, after restarting my machine, debian complained it could not find
nvidia-ko etc. see /var/log/ further on.
is there somebody out there with some clues? and, what can be done about
this?
(yesterday
the linux-driver page of nvidia-com was not online: this is exceptional)
(for the rest: my 'normal' graphics are runneing fine on the debian "nv"
driver, but I STILL NEED the other not native one.
regards,
steef
info on driver etc.

/var/log/nvidia-installer.log and ther result, partly, of
lspci -v

frequently when this kernel module was built against the wrong or
