Description Chris Slycord 2005-12-23 13:50:15 UTC 
After installing nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx version 1.0.8178, when I did "startx" I was sent back to the command line and a message appeared that said:

Failed to load module "nvidia"
Failed to load module "glx"

And at that moment, the output of lsmod showed that the nvidia module was loaded

Dropping back to version 1.0.8174-r1 for both had X back up and running.
