Bug Description

Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-177

With the upgrade to 2.6.27 kernel the restricted nvidia-glx driver stopped working and X crasches at logon.

If I roll back to the latest 2.6.26 kernel, everything works again.

1) make sure that the linux-headers for your kernel are installed
2) type:
ls -Rl /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/ > dkms.txt
and attach the dkms.txt file
3) what's the model of your graphics card?

2. Attached.

3. Nvidia 8600M GT. So its the same as the bug this is reported duplicated with.
