Hello,

Helloo Boyan,
I recently updated to kernel 4.7.0 in stretch, and am running the nvidia
binary blob (nvidia-driver).

me, too. But I have an older chipset (GF8600M), but it is running finme with
kernel 4.7.

Upon restart, x fails to load.  The system works great with the 4.6 kernel.

Can the kernel-module be built? I suggest, to use the *-dkms stuff for
building. If this does not work, you may try the drivers from the nvidia site
directly. Before installiing this, get rid of all nvidia packages (i.e. apt-
get --purge remove nvidia-*). Check before saying "y", that no other unwanted
packages are iremoved.

How?  I’ll purge all nvidia packages, then install nvidia-kernel-dkms?


Anybody see the issues described here: http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1750

Hope this helps. If NOT, then you might try to run the nouveau driver. It is
running fine, however, I prefer the proprietrary one, as I need it for my
flightsim (X-Plane).

A similar situation here, to respond to gianluca.



Cheers!
