[SOLVED] Another geforce/Debian lenny problem :confused:

[bero13]

Ok so i was trying to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.53-pkg2.run but it gave me an error saying that i couldn't install it because X server was being used by different program and to exit X. after a day of googleing and searching forums i couldn't find anything on how to exit X. so i looked into manual installing the drivers and found this post on here "[SOLVED] nvidia geForce 7050 not working in Deb/lenny" (it wont let me post the url). So i tried it and now when i try to play a game that requires 3d acceleration i get

Display : ERROR: Failed to set video mode.
Error Message: Couldn't find matching GLX visual

The game ran choppy before but it ran.

Oh ya the card is a 7600gt, and my system is amd fx 64 3500+ running debian amd64. and i just started useing linux on the 1st.
