This did not work for me. I tried using Envy to uninstall and then reinstall the ATI driver, and I still get “The Composite extension is not available.”

I have a Gateway laptop with an AMD Turion 64 processor, 1GB of ram, 60GB hd.

Geforce 6150.

I had removed Envy. I reinstalled Envy, removed the Nvidia driver, reinstalled the Nvidia driver and all was good. Thanks for the info.

I have a Geforce 4 MX440, I had to run Envy after installing it ( ‘sudo envy -g’) and select my videocard. It did the right thing for me — it downloaded the legacy driver from nvidia, downloaded everything needed to recompile it, compiled it, installed it, and updated my xconfig. I rebooted as instructed and all is SO SWEEt. It took me days to research and do all this the last time I installed Debian (etch).
