Re: nvidia driver 7667 for debian64?

Hello,
where can I get the current nvidia drivers (1.0.7667) for amd64?
Currently I'm using the drivers at...
deb http://bytekeeper.as28747.net/debian-amd64-alioth-old/pure64/ sid
non-free
... but these are only 1.0.7174-3.
The original nvidia installer from nvidia.com is still broken on
debian64, isn't it?
Why? What's the problem so that I have to use module-assistant?
Regards,
Alexander
Add non-free i386 experiemntal deb-src to your sources.list (e.g.
deb-src http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/debian experimental non-free)
apt-get update
apt-get build-dep nvidia-graphics-drivers
apt-get source nvidia-graphics-drivers (in an empty folder)
cd cd nvidia-graphics-drivers-1.0.7667/
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
You may need to mess about a little with manually installing
nvidia-kernel-common 7667 from an i386 mirror (it's an All arch
package), and for some reason module-assistant only built an updated
kernel module when i ran through the GUI manually (I usually use m-a a-i
nvidia)
BUT... it worked for me, all things considered.
