I got the 7676 version and it works fine, following the recipe posted
earlier here --

Get the 7676 tar, diff and dsc from
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/no...phics-drivers/
<http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers/>
dpkg-source -x *dsc
cd nvidia-*
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b
cd ..
dpkg -i nvidia*source*deb
apt-get install module-assistant
m-a -t prepare
m-a a-i -t nvidia
dpkg -i nvidia-glx*deb

Thanks!

Dave
