Bug#627119: nvidia-glx ext are loaded but compiz/kde-effects causes Xserver freeze

[Marcin]

no problem:)

here's my workaround for debian wheezy:
.
First of all i'd to downgrade xserver to 1.7-7.13 (to be able to downgrade
nvidia to 260.19.44. it needs xserver-xorg-core <1.7.7).

I've add 3 repos (1 for nvidia, 2 xorg, 3 just in case for nvidia-common)
from snapshot.debian.org. It was probalby those 3:
deb [url]http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20110507T092547Z/[/url]testing
main
deb [url]http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20110317T092833Z/[/url]sid
non-free
deb [url]http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20110316T215302Z[/url]sid
contrib
and turned off other debian repos

then there's a time problem with refreshing that repos. Refresh needs to be
done like that:
[quote]sudo aptitude -o 'Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false' update[/quote]

after that i've deleted all nvidia-* libglx-whatever libgl1-something, and
all xserver-xorg packages.

after installation (from snapshot repos) xserver-xorg and nvidia drivers
there still was error with mismatch nvidia with nvidia kernel module.
[quote]sudo modeprobe -r nvidia[/quote] finnaly finished my war with nvidia
drivers
