I have updated to R5E50 fine (from R5C7), but the video display is only 640x480, while it should be 1920x1080 as before.

I have noticed that Xorg 7 is now used instead of XFree86.
The driver is set to "nv" instead of "nvidia" previously.

I wanted to install the official nvidia driver, but the installation fails.
How can I progress on this?
Thanks.

I have also found that there is the possibility to install the nvidia driver in /usr/src/debs/nvidia/latest. But this doesn't work as well (it tries to remove libglu1-mesa-dev and libgl1-mesa-dev but it fails).

Concerning the nvidia proprietary driver, the issue comes probably from the fact that the source of Linux is missing.
How can I get the content of the "/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.18-chw-13"?
Thanks.
