NVidia driver successfully installed!

[Stefan Salewski <Salewski@physnet.uni-hamburg.de>]

Hello,

because I was unable to install the nvidia driver on my sid 
installation, I have made a clean installation of etch now.

To get access to nvidia driver it was neccessary to add 

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free 
contrib

to \etc\apt\sources.list

After this, installation of the nvidia driver was very simple by 
following the tutorial from

http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/installation.html

apt-get update
NVDIST=unstable
apt-get install module-assistant nvidia-kernel-common
m-a prepare
m-a auto-install nvidia
apt-get -t $NVDIST install nvidia-glx
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

My hardware configuration is: 
Athlon64 X2 (4400+), 7800GTX (Asus) graphic card.
I am using the 2.6.12 smp kernel

Seems to work fine.

Thanks for your support
