Re: nvidia driver strangeness

[Brad Alexander <storm16@gmail.com>]

Thanks, Dave.

I wound up rolling back to 280.13-4, which meant that I had to end up downloading xserver-xorg-core_1.10.4-1 from wheezy. (The current version of xserver-xorg-core ships with xorg-video-abi-11, and 13-4 requires abi-10.)

So I downgraded the following packages:

xserver-xorg-video-nvidia_280.13-4
libgl1-nvidia-alternatives_280.13-4
libgl1-nvidia-glx_280.13-4
libglx-nvidia-alternatives_280.13-4
nvidia-alternative_280.13-4 
nvidia-glx_280.13-4
nvidia-kernel-dkms_280.13-4 
nvidia-vdpau-driver_280.13-4
xserver-xorg-video-nvidia_280.13-4
xserver-xorg-core_1.10.4-1
xserver-xorg-input-evdev_2.6.0-2+b1

And everything seems to be working so far...Though I fully expect to find some other bombshells with some Xserver function that I forgot to downgrade.

I'm getting similar wierdness with my sid, additionaly I can crash X
by running libreoffice or xeyes(!). I suspect that this is related to
<http://bugs.debian.org/641195>, which suggests rolling back
xserver-xorg-core rather than the nvidia stuff.

I haven't had time to try this, in spite of the fact that my
productivity is being killed by not having xeyes working...
