Okay. I just tried that and from the Xorg log file I see that it being loaded okay, but it is not being initialized: $> cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep '(EE)'

(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. (EE) Failed to load module "type1" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)

I am using 2.6.21 Debian kernel and
$> dpkg -l *nvidia* | grep ^ii | gawk '{print $1 " " $2 "\t" $3}'

ii nvidia-glx   1.0.8776-4
ii nvidia-kernel-2.6.17-2-486   1.0.8776-4+2.6.17-9
ii nvidia-kernel-2.6.18-3-486   1.0.8776-4+2.6.18-7
ii nvidia-kernel-common 20051028+1
ii nvidia-kernel-source 1.0.8776-4

What do I try next?

thanks,
