Maybe it depends on the driver version? I have 340.76-1.siduction.1 0- which isn't in any repo anymore (was from fixes). Will be removed here too...

Instead it is now "legacy"?  http://forum.siduction.org/index.php?topic=5447

This is the message I saw while upgrading my nvidia driver, which broke my graphics:

nvidia-graphics-drivers (343.22-1) experimental; urgency=medium

So if you have one of the above mentioned  gracas you need to switch to the legacy driver.

See:

http://forum.siduction.org/index.php?topic=5447.msg44465#msg44465

and

the funny thing about is: anbe never wrote the mentioned legacy-340xx driver packages - so did i yesterday.

[michaa7]

Thanks, it's appreciated.

....- so did i yesterday.

You wanted to say: "But I did"

I'am mentioning this, because you wrote the opposite of want you intended to say. So did I = Ich auch.

Danke

Und wenn ich nicht den legacy Treiber verwenden will sondern von 340 auf eine höhere Version upgraden möchte? Was muss ich dann machen? In unstable ist ja nur der 340er.

apt-get install -t experimental? Da ist der 343drin...

Nun ist 346.59-1.siduction.1 wieder in unserem fixes repo.
