# nvidia-xconfig
Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".
PARSE ERROR: Parse error on line 57 of section Module in file
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.
"Disable" is not a valid keyword in this section.
Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'
New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'
BTW, I did follow:
http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#head-da25e4acfc1b456e21717d2178b938ba4306e9cd
But when I run the m-a auto-install command I get a failure and an
empty log file:
# cat /var/cache/modass/nvidia-kernel-source.buildlog.2.6.25-2-amd64.1216468060
Build log starting, file:
/var/cache/modass/nvidia-kernel-source.buildlog.2.6.25-2-amd64.1216468060

Sorry Florian's solution seems to be working for me, I have very
little interest and too little understanding on what is going on wrong
to spent too much time in this isue.
Thanks anyway,
