NVidia driver successfully installed!
Hello,
because I was unable to install the nvidia driver on my sid
installation, I have made a clean installation of etch now.
To get access to nvidia driver it was neccessary to add
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free
contrib
to \etc\apt\sources.list
After this, installation of the nvidia driver was very simple by
following the tutorial from
http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/installation.html
apt-get update
NVDIST=unstable
apt-get install module-assistant nvidia-kernel-common
m-a prepare
m-a auto-install nvidia
apt-get -t $NVDIST install nvidia-glx
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
My hardware configuration is:
Athlon64 X2 (4400+), 7800GTX (Asus) graphic card.
I am using the 2.6.12 smp kernel
Seems to work fine.
Thanks for your support
Stefan Salewski
