Bug#420450: fails to find OpenGL nvidia driver, does not start
Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-2
Severity: serious
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
After upgrading xserver-xorg-core 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-1 on April 20, X fails to
start when using the OpenGL nvidia driver [at least when compiled from
nvidia-kernel-source 1.0.8776-4], with an error that the nvidia module does
not exist. See 'startx' output below.

Temporary solution:
Reverting to xserver-xorg-core 2:1.1.1-21 restores X to a working state and
with 3D functionality. Minor dependency conflicts result with the following
packages, which I was able to remove to resolve the conflicts:
xserver-xorg-video-all
xserver-xorg-video-i810
xserver-xorg-video-intel
--- Additional details which are likely to be requested:
Kernel package: linux-image-2.6.20.7-686-crk2
Nvidia kernel driver: nvidia-kernel-2.6.20.7-686-crk2
[This is a custom configured Linux kernel (from vanilla source from
kernel.org) + nvidia kernel driver using nvidia-kernel-source 1.0.8776-4, all
built "the Debian way".]
Versions numbers of other somewhat related packages:
nvidia-glx: 1.0.8776-4
nvidia-kernel-common: 20051028+1
nvidia-kernel-source: 1.0.8776-4

Depends (Version) | Installed
================================-+-================
x11-common (>= 1:7.0.0) | 1:7.1.0-18
libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6) | 2.5-2
libfontenc1 | 1:1.0.4-2
libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1-12) | 1:4.1.1-21
libxau6 | 1:1.0.3-2
libxdmcp6 | 1:1.0.2-2
libxfont1 | 1:1.2.8-1
zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.1) | 1:1.2.3-13
xserver-xorg | 1:7.1.0-18
I'm going to see if a 'diff -u' between the source for xserver-xorg-core
2:1.1.1-21 and 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-2 comes up with anything illuminating.
