hi list,
without the slightest problem an update to etch this morning. thanks,
developers!
QUESTION: how do i get rid of the <nvidiafb-module>. my prefab kernel
does not seem compiled with this possibility.
modprobe -r or rmmod do not seem to work. blacklisting nvidiafb in
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist does not seem to exclude the kernelmodule from
loading.
what did i do wrong, if anything?
maybe someone can help me out??
info.
steef@cc52847-a:~$ lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidiafb 42236 1
i2c_algo_bit 8424 1 nvidiafb
i2c_core 19680 3 nvidiafb,i2c_algo_bit,i2c_nforce2

good question. after installing my prefab-kernel:
steef@cc52847-a:~$ uname -a
Linux cc52847-a 2.6.18-4-686 #1 SMP Mon Mar 26 17:17:36 UTC 2007 i686
GNU/Linux
the first couple of times i rebooted, as a test, the nvidia-driver
nvidiafb did not show itself. why, i do not understand. so i tried to
install the newest nvidia-driver from their site and i seemed to succeed
until the next reboot. x crashed completely.
so after a cleanup (without X) of /etc/X11/xorg.conf i loaded the
vesadriver; and after that, again the nv-driver. that driver works good
enough for me, with one *bug" however.
after installing the nv-driver an old nuisance came back. when i logout
as user 'steef' and i login as root --- (a lazy convenience to compile
and install the newest alsa-drivers from their site. because for my
nvidia soundchip ad1986 () the debian drivers suck [is that the good
word??]) --- *the cursor* disappears completely; quite a nuisance.
the nvidia-driver from *their* non-free site has not that evil habit
and is even better with films like humphrey bogarts casablanca or the
maltese falcon.
so that's how it is now.
ps.:
btw i am wrestling with another problem now: etch sees my wireless
rt2500.ko module but i cannot start up my wireless network. install etc.
i controlled thrice: all seems to be okay. Maybe an alias-problem?
ralink=ra0 and debian sees the driver as eth2 in
/etc/network/interfaces. how do i get the d..... thing working is my
problem now. some help would be welcome and highly appreciated.
thanks for your question,
regards,
steef
