My system was working perfectly and I upgraded my system with apt. The next time I started up my computer, X complained that it failed to load the module nvidia. I switched my xorg.conf file to load the open source nv drivers so I could browse the Internet for help. I found Debian Bug #420354, which says the package nvidia-glx version 1.0.8776-4 does not provide the file nvidia_drv.so.

I finally got tired of trying to get my ATI Radeon 9000 Pro to work properly with Linux. I had to jump through hoops to get Google Earth to work, I had to turn of stars in Celestia with gconf-editor to prevent it from crashing, Neverwinter Nights would crash at random, and I had problems with certain color-depth / resolution combinations. I kept hearing that NVIDIA’s proprietary drivers work much better than ATI’s, and with the fact that ATI will no longer produce drivers for the Radeon 9000 Pro, I decided to purchase a NVIDIA graphics card.
