Bug#428580: xorg: xorg 1:7.1.0-18 can't load directly nvidia driver module 1.0.8776+6
Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.2-3
Severity: normal
Having apt configured for 'testing', i upgraded today to the latest
xorg. After this upgrade, xorg was unable to start with the nvidia
driver.
Going to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers and issuing: 'gcc gcc -shared
nvidia_drv.o -o nvidia_drv.so' solved the problem.
(solution found in thread 'Updated Sid today, xorg cannot find
"nvidia" driver' on linux.debian.user from April 21 2007).
