[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#580991: Bug#580991: nvidia-glx: X segfaults after nVidia logo

[Alex Rozenshteyn]

I think the problem may be related to how it got installed.  When I
completely removed all debian packages related to nvidia and ran the nvidia
installer for 195.36.24, it worked, so I think the new version should work.
