nvidia driver - API MISMATCH (!)
Hello.
I'm a user of Kubuntu linux, and I have an nvidia 7900GT graphics card. When trying to install the driver from www dot nvidia dot com, at first it said something about not being able to find X/QT files / directories and gave me a warning. I started it using startx and it worked. when i rebooted my pc i saw X was giving an error about API mismatch between the nvidia module and the X module (one is newer than the other). after installing some dev packages the first warning was gone, but the problem still occurs, so i need to reinstall the driver on every boot! i already tried installing the driver from apt-get, but it didnt work. what can i do? |

Running Debian Etch, everything was sweet. But I wanted to try out some KVM goodness. so a dist-upgrade from testing to unstable was done. - that was easy, re-installed new nvidia drivers and all was great. next day turned my PC on again and I got X errors saying that different versions were found between the X and the module. I have tried re-installing the drivers since then again but alas no luck. going to have a nother crack at it tonight. Not entirely sure what i'm going to do different at this stage though. |
Not sure if your still looking, but if for nothing else then future searches....
I was having the same issues with a nvidia GeForce 6200 card. I downloaded and ran the latest driver. Then I rebooted to a API:Mismatch error. I ended up having to uninstall the default nvidia package. apt-get remove nvidia-kernel-common rebooted and was good to go using the new driver If it's working but in need of tweaking then there is always: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg Happy trails...

Oh yes forgot to post back with my fix. :)
Yeah I did the same, used dpkg to uninstall the debian nvidia-glx package, after a reboot the problem was fixed. |
