running 5.04rc and as of late, when a new xserver-xorg is
release/updated, i have to manually reinstall/configure the nvidia
driver because of a mismatch (the install nvidia-glx is looking for the
older version of xorg) its jsut anoying to watch teh system boot up try
to start x, then die and dump me at a prompt. anyone else experiance
this? any solutions? would it be possible to have teh xserver-xorg
package check for an existing nvidia install (maybe just grep xorg.conf
for it or something) and if found either reset up teh nvidia driver,
default back to nv and warn the user or maybe even give them a
menu/choice via debconf?
i'd be willing to help and work on this, i woul jsut need direction,
seenig as how i have never working with packaging, but do have
programming/scripting experiance and am learning python in a production
development as we speak.
thanks guys
