Bug#301255: [nvidia/kernel module] X crashes because it can't find a kernel module.
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1
Severity: important
File: /usr/X11R6/bin/startx
X crashes at startup because it can not load the driver module for my graphic card. (an NVidia GeFroce4 460MX) When I try to load the module with modprobe it loads just fine. But loading it by hand and then starting X doesn't help.
X does start when i user the standard vesa driver.
