After that, i reinstalled nvidia drivers for my new kernel ...
...no problem...
then i switched my computer off, and the next day, when i reboot ...
Unable to load X
I reinstalled the drivers, then restarted X ... no problem
and the next day when i turned the computer on ..
unable to load X again lol
well i reinstaled the drivers, and it is now working ...
anyway, i'm quite sure that tomorrow, when i will turn the computer on ...
I will again have to reinstall nvidia drivers ^^

Eh if anyone knows what it is due to, please tell me

Here are my logs and config file

Please help me, having to reinstall drivers each time i boot is quite borring

Have you got a line like "alias char-major-195 nvidia" in /etc/modprobe.conf?

I don't see why you should have to re-install the driver. If X won't start it's probably because you haven't got the nvidia kernel module loaded. Try 'modprobe nvidia' and then 'startx'. Does that work for you?

Well the content of my modprobe.conf is nearly nothin :

# Place your local directives here.


# This line loads the part of the modprobe configuration managed with
# update-modules(8) and built from the contents of /etc/modprobe.d/.
include /lib/modules/modprobe.conf

but the line is in my modules.conf (even if i don't know what that means ^^)

3zechiel:/home/hugo# cat /etc/modules.conf | grep nvidia
alias char-major-195 nvidia
### update-modules: start processing /etc/modutils/nvidia-kernel-nkc
alias char-major-195 nvidia
### update-modules: end processing /etc/modutils/nvidia-kernel-nkc

I will test modprobe nvidia tomorrow if it bugs again
But if anyone has an answer ...

Ok i rebooted and got one more time this problem
I tried doing
modprobe nvidia
and it printed nothing, and when i tried startx i had the same error
I also tried adding the line your mentionning
alias char-major-195 nvidia
in modprobe.conf, but again there was no change ...

so i reinstalled the drivers lol
anyway, the installer says something about "tainted"
i dont know what it means, but maybe ther can be a relation?
