X can't find nvidia module
Hi,
I installed the nvidia driver following:
http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Build_manually.2C_with_a_custom_kernel
and using nvidia-kernel-source (304.48-1) with this:
make-kpkg --revision 3.5.4 --append-to-version -nodeb-amd64
--added-modules nvidia-kernel \
--initrd kernel_image modules_image
That gave me 2 .debs:
linux-image-3.5.4-nodeb-amd64_3.5.4_amd64.deb
nvidia-kernel-3.5.4-nodeb-amd64_304.48-1+3.5.4_amd64.deb
which I installed + booted that kernel.
Syslog shows:
...
NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 304.48 Sun Sep 9
20:22:27 PDT 2012
...
and lsmod shows:
...
nvidia 11186000 0
...
But when I startx, X can't find the nvidia module:
...
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
...
Any suggestions as to what to do next?
Hugo
