this wont start X without editing in '/etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc, like
Code:
ServerCmd=/usr/bin/X -ignoreABI
When it DOES start X, its GLITCHY
i cant reccomend it
EDIT: tested, seems ok with all default Sid drivers/Xorg
not 100% perfect but seems all working acceptably |

Thanks etorix. Hit this today on a new install + d-u. Saw that ignoreABI message in the output, but had no idea of where to put the option.
Install is with the xfce4 aptosid 2011-02 disk. I'll have to look for a gdm3rc file I presume. |

Dont be ridiculous. That driver is not an alternative. What a crap reply.
I guess we just have to wait a bit longer.

As most people with Nvidia cards are probably not aware of, the new free and open source driver Nouveau is already enabled in Aptosid kernels, and does work well for most cards and use cases (3D support still experimental, though). So, it's time to finally get rid of the closed source and non DSFG distributable packages, along with potentially problematic 3rd party repositories.
If this is the official policy of the Aptosid team I guess there is something fundamental that you've misunderstood.
The problem is that I need 3D support.
Since most Aptosid users are fairly advanced users, don't give us that crap.
We are using the proprietary nVidia driver for a reason.
Thanks.  |

jacmoe: moderate your tone please, you are patently misreading
im a member of Dev team + i use 3d nVidia AND Nouveau both for different puposes
if you have lost 3D its thru NOT READING what Apt plainly said it was going to do
REMOVE STUFF |

Yes, this is our official policy. However, your quote is incomplete:
Quote:
The Aptosid development team recommends and fully supports the removal of the nv driver and installation/usage of the nouveau driver (and of course vesa). Only for those actually needing the full 3D features of the proprietary driver, we always have and will provide help in our manuals, forums and IRC channel.
Greetings,
Chris |

1) Apt did not say it was going to remove anything.
2) Telling people to install the Nouveau is not really a valid answer to people having lost the nVidia driver.
3) I am mainly frustrated at myself for not checking the Aptosid forum prior to my DU. Even if apt didn't say it was going to remove anything. But I am also frustrated at hearing that Nouveau is the answer:
Quote:
switching to the Npuveau driver is a far better option for nVidia card users
So, I think I'll just wait it out.
I didn't screw anything as apt did not remove anything. I just have no X.
Yeah, I'll moderate myself.  |

Code:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
nvidia-glx xserver-xorg-video-nvidia

I waited until apt told me that it wasn't going to be removed.
Quote:
One added, nothing to remove and a lot of upgraded packages.
nvidia-glx and xserver-xorg-video-nvidia was among the packages to upgrade.
Too bad I didn't pipe the output to a file as proof.
But the bottom line is that it's broken even if it's upgraded.
It will probably fix itself.
Sorry for having brought forth insults and vitriolic remarks, btw. |

And by the way I'm now a nouveau user and can not complain at all (e.g. desktop effect, games and GoogleEarth work without problems).

Simply look in /var/log/apt/history.log
Thanks for the tip!

I am a graphics programmer..
I will check it out only as a last resort (read: if I can't have X in my aptosid box for more than 14 days). |

I don' t usually play modern 3D games, so for now this solution is good for me until propietary driver is fixed. Thank you very much for your help |
