Hints?

OK well, running the patched driver available was a good suggestion, but it fails miserably on my
system.

here's the attached error log

Looks like you need to remove the old driver first.

I don't know if that is a debian version driver or not.  I could not find any info on the driver version 1.0-9755 that you have installed.  If it is a debian driver, do an "aptitude remove nvidia-glx" and make sure all it's dependant packages get removed too: http://packages.debian.org/stable/x11/nvidia-glx


The error you are getting has to do with the old driver installed:
