Xorg 7 does not work with nvidia 1.0-8756... any patches?

[OrcLex]

Hello,

after upgrading to xorg 7 in debian sid (vanilla linux 2.6.16) the nvidia driver could not be loaded.
Are there any patches available?

I've attached the xorg-logfile for more informations.

Thanks & regards,
Alexander

You should try reinstalling the driver and checking over your xorg config. I haven't had any major issues with Xorg7/XGL and 8756.

@OrcLex: you need to install the xserver-xorg-dev package prior to the NVIDIA Linux graphics driver installation or use the --x-module-path command line option.

If your using the Debian packages it should already be patched to work with Xorg 7 according to the changelog of the package.

Thank you very much! That package was missing and now it's working again.
