Since an xorg update a few days ago, it's not working with anything.
Compiling against the current stock 2.6.32 kernel, with the header
package installed, works, but the X server crashes after showing the
Nvidia splash screen briefly. This is way too frustrating! I'm able
to start the X server with no xorg.conf, and the Xorg.0.log indicates
that I'm using the nv driver (with no glx, because the Nvidia glx
driver, which is still installed, doesn't work with the nv driver; is
there one which does?). I tried the latest nvidia packages from sid,
but no joy there either (same symptoms). I'm next going to try sgfxi,
as Paul Cartwright suggested (thanks). I need my GoogleEarth (and it
needs functioning glx)!
