working.  A kernel, the nvidia kernel driver, and the nvidia xorg
driver.

This is the current setup:
* linux-image-2.6.29-2-amd64 is installed
* nvidia-kernel-2.6.26-2-amd64 is installed

There is no point in trying to install nvidia-glx because it relates
to 180.44 and the nvidia kernel module relates to 173.xx.

I have an 8800 GT so 173.xx that used to work just fine with it and
will also work with 180.44 so I have a choice between the two.  As
there are no pre-built modules for 180.44 (I don't know why though)
I'll just use 173.xx

Ok so I figure that now I should just install nvidia-glx-legacy-173xx
yet synaptic spits out:
nvidia-glx-legacy-173xx:
 Depends: nvidia-kernel-legacy-173xx-173.14.18  but it is not installable

I can't install nvidia-glx as that is looking for 180.44 kernel modules

This seems bizarre as the package nvidia-kernel-2.6.26-2-amd64
provides 173.xx modules and not 180.44 modules!

What is the purpose then of the 173.xx kernel modules if nothing can
seem to use them?
