Comment 103 for bug 251107

I've now enabled -proposed and installed the 71.86 driver with no success.

From a clean install of intrepid, my xorg.conf looks like:-

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously
# in this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings
# here are ignored.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Section "Device"
 Identifier "Configured Video Device"
 Driver "nvidia"
# Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP"
# Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
 Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
 Identifier "Default Screen"
 Monitor "Configured Monitor"
 Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

With the Driver "nvidia" and the lines immediately afterwards added in manually.

Without the lines included, I can boot up ok and get a resolution of 1600x1200 as normal, but no GLX etc, with the lines included, the machine will only boot up into low graphics mode.

I've attached Xorg.0.log.old which shows the error when the driver is set as nvidia.

Hopefully, somebody can advise me what needs to be corrected.
