More the other way around, but yes, the NVIDIA driver binary install even explicitly mentions that it overwrites some original X install files. Why don't you use the official Debian NVIDIA packages? 1.0-8776 is in testing and unstable, and 1.0.9746 is in experimental. If you want to run stable and are not familiar with mixing in bits from other versions of Debian, you should read "man apt_preferences" for a start. Adding (say) experimental to your sources.list, and something like Package: nvidia-* Pin: release o=Debian,a=experimental Pin-Priority: 991 to your /etc/apt/preferences should get you going. Conrad
