New video card-what to do ?

[Niels Rasmussen <nielsrasmus@gmail.com>]

Hi list

My system is debian testing (etch) AMD64x2

I have bought a new video card Nvidia 6200 TC 64 bit 256MB DDR2, which should
be better than my ATI Radeon X700se, according to several forums, for 3D
composite rendering.

Now after what I've read about this, on this list, it should be sufficient to
do the following:

1. Change the video card
2. boot and kill X + running openGL daemons
3. aptitude > install:
- nvidia-kernel-2.6.18-4-amd64
- nvida-glx
- nvidia-glx-ia32 for 32 app-support
- nvidia-settings
- nvidia-xconfig
4. Reboot

Is this the way to do it ??

I haven't done this before, so every help are appreciated :)
