Reading this
http://www.mepislovers-wiki.org/inde...nvidia_drivers
and getting a bit confused
From a fresh 3.4.3 install
$dpkg -l nvidia-glx
nvidia-glx 1.0.7174-4 NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x driver
(now using xorg rather than xfree afaik?)
$dpkg -l nvidia-kernel-2.6.*
nvidia-kernel- 1.0.7174-4+2.6 NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.6.15
$dpkg -l nvidia-kernel-source
nvidia-kernel- <none>
$dpkg -l nvidia-kernel-common
nvidia-kernel- 20051028+1 NVIDIA binary kernel module common files
The wiki seems to suggest replacing all instances marked with an * in the sample file with the output from "dpkg -l nvidia-kernel-common". Outdated information maybe?
Edit/ Okay here's what I've done
Package: *
Pin: release o=MEPIS
Pin-Priority: 901
Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian
Pin-Priority: 800
Package: nvidia-glx
Pin: version 1.0.7174-4
Pin-Priority: 1000
Package: nvidia-kernel-source
Pin: version 1.0.7174-4
Pin-Priority: 1000
Package: nvidia-kernel-2.6.15
Pin: version 1.0.7174+2.6
Pin-Priority: 1000
Package: nvidia-kernel-common
Pin: version 20051028+1
Pin-Priority: 1000
Still not sure this is quite right, or even needed in 3.4.3.
