That's what DKMS is for. Anyway, I believe my case is some vague linker problem, which I hoped this site can help with. :-( | |

I actually downloaded the file NVIDIA-Linux-x86-295.59.run from the NVIDIA website (there's probably an Amd64 version) and built it that way.This is what I assumed you meant by the 'official' version. I also went through all installed packages with nvidia in the name (using aptitude) and purged everything to avoid problems. I'm also running kernel 3.2.0-3 so don't think a kernel downgrade would help.

But after purging everything that apt-get installed (and I did log that and then properly removed it), and issued the apt-get install (with the 295.59 version), I hit exactly the same problem. It's why I said "evidently something broke", as unclear as this sounds. | |
