Re: [PLUG] No OpenGL on lenny upgrade

Last weekend I upgraded my desktop machine from etch to lenny.

Most things went well. I have an NVidia 6600GT AGP video card and had
been using the NVidia driver downloaded directly from their website.
When I upgraded the kernel image (from the etch-backports one to the
lenny one) I decided to try the debian packages.

It installed and works except that I have no OpenGL support...anything
reqiring OpenGL crashes. I have:

linux-image-2.6-686 (which pulls in:)
linux-image-2.6.26-2-686

nvidia-kernel-2.6-686 (which pulls in:)
nvidia-kernel-2.6.26-2-686

nvidia-glx
nvidia-glx-dev (installed this in case it helped, but it didn't).

xorg.conf is from etch, I looked at it but didn't see anything that
needed changing.

If it helps I am using lenny's KDE (3.5.9) on an old (socket 939) Athlon
64 system.

Is anyone using the debian nvidia packages successfully?

Thanks,
Greg
