[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#393620: nvidia-xconfig creates an xorg.conf that doesn't work

Package: nvidia-xconfig
Version: 1.0+20080522-2
Followup-For: Bug #393620



Dear nvidia-xconfig maintainer(s),

when I run nvidia-xconfig, gdm does not start again - fatal error.  The
files /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log are inserted below.  I
have also tried to download and install the NVIDIA 96.43.xx Legacy driver
from http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html as recommended by the log-file,
but I ran into all kinds of trouble, e.g. the gcc version did not match the
one with which the kernel was compiled and the kernel-tree was not
available, so I gave up on that.

Cheers, Laurenz.
