Bug#846502: nvidia-driver: could not install nvidia-driver under sid because of dependence broken

[liang yan]

Hello, Luca,

Thanks for replying, but it could not be installed under experimental.

Looks xserver-xorg-core is in a newer version. I tried install a lower
version xserver-xorg-core to install nvidia-driver, it could finish
installment, but then freeze on the login window, no response to any input.


Thanks,

Liang
