Hi guys,
I have lost the time to take care of nvidia binary drivers, i migrated most
systems to nouveau or have intel video so someone else interested in mainting
them?

I'm a bad maintainer, but I use the x86_64 nvidia driver on one machine.
I have also done lots of refactoring in the PKGBUILD in the past. If
nobody else will, I can take them.

Hi,
Having a terrible time trying to get nvidia drivers working. I had them
working ages ago but an update broke them whilst I was trying to get
CUDA to work.
I'm trying to do this properly the nvidia way, and have tried to remove
all of the packages using apt, and them used
m-a prepare
m-a auto-install nvidia
and everything went to plan, but when I reboot X fails saying it can't
find the modules.
ja@Hawaiian:~$ uname -a
Linux Hawaiian 2.6.30-2-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Dec 7 05:21:45 UTC 2009 x86_64
GNU/Linux
But it doesn't seem the same size as the other two, which are different
from each other.
Hawaiian:/home/ja# ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.30-2-amd64/nvidia/nvidia.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13294487 Sep 12 12:40
/lib/modules/2.6.30-2-amd64/nvidia/nvidia.ko
Hawaiian:/home/ja# ls -l
/lib/modules/2.6.30-2-amd64/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11670161 Jan 12 2010
/lib/modules/2.6.30-2-amd64/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
Not exactly sure where to go from here, any advice or requests for more
information gratefully received.
Thanks,
James

Have you tried to neutralized the wrong nvidia module by renaming it.

Hi,
Found the problem, forgotten to install the nvidia-kernel-dkms package.
Very happy all work great now and all of the CUDA stuff I installed also
works!
Thanks for your comments,
Jim
