That sux. I couldn't cut/paste because I didn't have a browser there. I was just reading/typing. I aptitude installed firefox just to paste that stuff to you.

'-' or '.'
They knew what I meant, right?

Okay, it actually ran this time.

After it ran, my XF86Config-4 says...

# The following line is auto-generated by KNOPPIX mkxf86Config
Driver "i810"



If I change it to "nvidia", it'll work again, but otherwise gdm dies.

Also, I ran 'mkxf86config' by hand and it says that the "Video is (yet) unknown card, using XFree86(vesa) Server"

Ok. Try one more test for me, please. Change the driver to "nv" and re-run the nVidia driver installer. This will test to see if maybe their installer isn't just replacing "nv" with "nvidia" and getting fooled when "nv" isn't there.

If that's not it, it may be that some process I don't know about yet is populating your XF86Config-4 file in a way that favors your onboard video (although it's disabled).

"nv" seemed to act the same way. It seems like mkxf86Config doesn't detect my card, so it decides to go with i810. It also sets all my X modes to 640x480.

I don't know if mkxf86config is involved, but I also don't know where that i810 is coming from.

I did re-read install-nvidia-debian.sh and saw that there's a section at the bottom that seems to be designed to compensate for problems like this one. Although nVidia's own scripting should replace the driver with "nvidia" apparently this has happened before. I'll add the i810 driver to this section of install-nvidia-debian.sh which runs after nVidia's scripts. If you'd like to add it yourself and try, re-set your XF86Config-4 file to have the "i810" driver and make this edit as root to /usr/local/bin/install-nvidia-debian.sh:

After the line
Code:
s/^[\s]*Driver\s*"vesa"/\tDriver      "nvidia"/g;
add the line
Code:
s/^[\s]*Driver\s*"i810"/\tDriver      "nvidia"/g;


Re-run install-nvidia-debian.sh as I outlined before and let me know if that takes care of it for you.
