I confirmed the correct driver is installed. As you probably see I've tried this a few times and a few different ways so I may have some packages I shouldn't?:
Code:
$ nvidia-detect
Detected NVIDIA GPUs:
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF104 [GeForce GTX 460] [10de:0e22] (rev a1)
Your card is supported by the default drivers and legacy driver series 304.
It is recommended to install the
nvidia-driver
package.
# dpkg -l | awk '/nvidia/ { print $2 }'
glx-alternative-nvidia
libgl1-nvidia-glx:amd64
libgl1-nvidia-legacy-96xx-glx:amd64
libnvidia-ml1:amd64

Then I did the following to try and match the wiki:
Rebooted and now have no desktop. The startx command mentioned to look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and I noticed this:

Seems to not be loading the module correctly, but I don't know why. For good measure here is what I have in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf and /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
I'm new to configuring video cards such as this. Any advice much appreciated.
EDIT: I don't know if anyone's still watching this, but I just noticed this in /var/log/messages:
Code:
Apr 25 16:19:28 leviathan kernel: [ 126.571155] NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 331.67, but
Apr 25 16:19:28 leviathan kernel: [ 126.571155] NVRM: this kernel module has the version 96.43.23. Please

Apr 25 16:19:28 leviathan kernel: [ 126.571155] NVRM: components have the same version.
Does this mean I need to recompile the driver? Or perhaps upgrade a package with the API?
