    new Kernel and Nvidia-drivers (SOLVED)

    I have updated my kernel to version kernel 2.6.20-16-386 from kernel 2.6.20-15-386.

    When I booted to my new kernel the nvidia driver didn't work. So i thought, Let's install it again.
    I always install nvidia with the aptitude-command.
    So I removed the old driver with aptitude remove nvidia-glx-new.

    After this I typed in aptitude install nvidia-glx-new. And started to install the new driver. This driver has some dependencies like the linux-restricted-modules. Now he selects the linux-restricted-modules of kernel 2.6.20-15-386 instead of the 2.6.20-16.386.

    How can I fix this so he will install the newest linux-restricted-modules because I think that is the problem that my driver doesn't work?

      The easiest way is to use the Envy script to install the drivers and autoconfigure xorg.conf.

          I removed the linux-restricted-modules of kernel 15 and installed those of 16. Then I installed the nvidia-glx and everything works.

          thnx
