Recently after upgrading via apt-get, I keep having the following problem even after a complete removal and reinstall via Synaptic. The Xorg log shows: (EE) NVIDIA(0): Version mismatch detected between the NVIDIA X driver and the (EE) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GLX module. X driver version: 1.0-8774; GLX module (EE) NVIDIA(0): version: 1.0-8762. Please try reinstalling the NVIDIA (EE) NVIDIA(0): driver. X will not start with "nvidia" as the driver. I am forced to use "nv". I am also experiencing lock-ups in X when using Firefox. Have to kill X to fix this. I don't know why the version mis-match occured. Everything was working fine up to a few weeks ago. I usually update when the update icon appears on the top panel in Gnome and everything works fine. If this has been answered on this list, my apologies. I can't seem to find where to search the archives. Thanks, Alex </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> Hello Alex The update installed a new kernel which does not match with your nvidia driver. Just install the nvidia driver again and you should be fine :-) I use the package provide by Ubuntu. So, the nvidia driver will be updated automatically if it is needed. thomas@AMD64:~$ apt-cache show nvidia-glx Package: nvidia-glx Priority: optional Section: restricted/x11 Installed-Size: 21636 Maintainer: Ubuntu Kernel Team <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:kernel-team@lists.ubuntu.com"><kernel-team@lists.ubuntu.com></a> Architecture: amd64 Source: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15 (2.6.15.11-1) Version: 1.0.8762+2.6.15.11-1 Replaces: nvidia-glx-src Provides: xserver-xorg-driver Depends: nvidia-kernel-1.0.8762, xserver-xorg-core (>= 1:0.99.0-1), libglu1-mesa | libglu1, libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.9.0), libc6 (>= 2.3.4-1), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.10.0), libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.8.0), libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.12.2), libx11-6, libxext6 Suggests: nvidia-kernel-source (>= 1.0.8762) Conflicts: nvidia-glx-src, nvidia-settings, nvidia-xconfig Filename: pool/restricted/l/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15/nvidia-glx_1.0.8762+2.6.15.11-1_amd64.deb Size: 7320136 MD5sum: 2ae0f83e09f712b1c238e28b7c34e4ad Description: NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org driver These XFree86 4.x/X.Org binary drivers provide optimized hardware acceleration of OpenGL applications via a direct-rendering X Server and support the newer GeForce, nForce and Quadro families of NVIDIA chipsets.

I also use the nvidia package from Ubuntu. I have always let the updates get loaded from Ubuntu and not intervene in any way. I tried reinstalling and that did not fix it. I tried a complete removal of nvidia-glx and a new install and the problem persists. The old version of the driver keeps showing up. I don't know what to do at this point to force everything to update properly. I usually do "apt-get update", "apt-get dist-upgrade" and everything works, but not this time.
