tried it. Doesn't work either. I still get this:

Code:

levbox:/home/leiavoia# apt-get install nvidia-glx

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree... Done

Suggested packages:

  nvidia-settings

The following packages will be REMOVED:

  xserver-xorg

The following NEW packages will be installed:

  nvidia-glx

0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 1 to remove and 6 not upgraded.

Need to get 0B/3038kB of archives.

After unpacking 5448kB disk space will be freed.

Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

*sigh*

I'm almost getting ready to give up. But the X performance has been really bad without the nvidia drivers :-(

Thanks for your help so far.

I got it!

Somewhere along the line, things lined up. I do not know how exactly, but i ran the nVidia installer again and it compiled correctly this time! Everything works good now.

Yeah!

Thanks everyone for your suggestions!

Just out of curiosity, what are the 6 packages not upgraded? That may have something to do with it too...

Glad for your success though!

gdk-imlib1 gnome-cups-manager grip libdevil-dev libkrb5-17-heimdal libxine1

since none of those really concern me at this time, i'm not going to worry about it too much.

I think the xserver-xfree86 package is just a dummy transitional package after the upgrade to xserver-xorg. xserver-xfree86 can be safely removed.
