Do 'apt-get install nvidia-kernel-source nvidia-kernel-common', then run module assistant (m-a) as already suggest on this list. I've done it several times, and it worked. You will also want to install nvidia-glx after running module assistant. P.S.: You can find the beta drivers from nvidia in experimental, you can install it like this: apt-get install nvidia-kernel-source/experimental m-a update m-a auto-install nvidia apt-get install nvidia-glx/experimental Reason you might want to try the beta driver: Google earth works with it :) Edwin
