Package: nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-source
Version: 96.43.23-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

Having noticed that the legaxy-96xx packages have been upgraded in the
last few days, I tried the old nvidia binary driver that used to work
fine in lenny on this very machine (a Dell 8600 with a GeForce4 Ti
4200 Go AGP 8x GPU.  Interestingly the system only reports 4x.


   * What led up to the situation?

Installation of the legacy-96xx packages on a wheezy system that was
installed on a clean disk.  The installations (via aptitude) didn't
cause errors.

After installing the linux-headers package:

m-a auto-install nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-source

did a lot of work in 3 stages and finished without an error.
nvidia.ko is now in /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-486/nvidia.


nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx was already installed, but it was uninstalled and
reinstalled, per the recommendation of the NvidiaGraphicsDriver wiki page.
The reinstallation didn't make any difference.

Then the xorg.conf was modified to be like the one in lenny that worked
great in that release.

update-alternatives was then run to point the links to 96xx.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

The only thing that could be done is shut down the system.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

That kdm would come up and the system would be usable.
