Proprietary NVIDIA Driver Troubleshooting
Okay, so I've been on this for a couple days with no luck.
Trying to install the Nvidia drivers the debian way, http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphic...n-free_drivers , and I would like to try and keep using the debian method so it auto updates if this is at all possible.
I've unloaded and blacklisted modules, uninstalled all drivers using apt-get autoremove, and tried forcing reinstallation but it seems like there is still some conflict somewhere within the driver and the kernel, and I'm not experienced enough to figure it out.
less /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE #returns this
Code:
(EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. Please check your
(EE) NVIDIA: system's kernel log for additional error messages.
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.
This is interesting because it looks like the card is not recognized by something correctly. Card is a Geforce 560GTX ti (by MSI) and Nvidia's site say's it's supported.
lspci -v #returns this

this is my install output, nothing really looks wrong.
