Re: failed to install xserver-xorg-core

Hi Hans,

Thank you very much for the help.

I purged the nvidia driver and re-installed it (by nvidia-installer).
But the nouveau module is still loaded even if I did everything
indicated here:
http://www.pimp-my-rig.com/2012/01/unload-nouveau-install-nvidia-driver.html.

And now the desktop environment cannot display.
