Bug Description
I've installed maverick a few days ago and have noticed that no third party driver was being used for my graphic card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500] (rev a1)
So, I've looked for nvidia-173 package because that is the driver which is being used for my card by Debian Squeeze which is installed on another partition and in fact looking into /usr/share/
GeForce FX 5500 0x0326
So I've installed nvidia-173 but the "additional drivers" window says that nvidia-173 is "active but at the moment is not being used".
lspci -vvvv says that the kernel driver is nvidia, but Xorg.0.log shows that Xorg ends up using the vesa driver.
So I've forced Xorg to use the nvidia driver creating xorg.conf by means of nvidia-xconfig, but if I run startx I get the following error:
.....
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/
(==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/
dlopen: /usr/lib/
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (loader failed, 7)
(EE) No drivers available.
Thanks for your work and commitment.
