Hi Brice,
thanks for your fast reply!
In the meantime I googled a workaround where to set "-ignoreABI". (http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_XOrg_7.1_With_Older_NVidia_Drivers#Running_X)
And I tried to use the libGL modules delivered from xorg with google earth (the actual reason why I use NVIDIA drivers), was happy that it started at all - but then my system froze almost with the first zoom action.
Workaround for KDM in debian: Add -ignoreABI to /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc to following line: ServerCmd=/usr/bin/X -br -ignoreABI A disadvantage is that
xorg packages replace the files libGLcore.so and libglx.so in
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions not using
symlinks. This leads to permanent struggle with NVIDIA
installation which per default uses symlinks and mourns about this.
Cheers Norbert

Fatal server error: AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0You need a new nVidia driver which supports Xserver 1.4 (xserver-xorg-core 1.3.99.0 is the packaging of the first release candidate of Xserver 1.4). But I don't know whether nVidia will release such a driver before the official Xserver 1.4 is released (planned for the end of August). Brice |
