I understand.
But I found 2 Tutorials for installing the nvidia driver under Debian.
The first one said, you have to apt-get the nvidia-glx-src, but there
are no sources!
The second one, there was a problem. Because the makefile differed from
the tutorial (apt-get nvidia-kernel-source)
So the nvidia installer was the only way, how it worked fine.
Running 3rd party installers is a bad habit from windows that should be
exterminated.
Okay this shouldn't be done under Debian, but for a newbie it is very
difficulty to do that without some informations.
Just my 5 pence.
