I have just configured a new core2duo sid box, but still xorg, and it
has nvidia card 7950gtx or something (very nice card, latest/greatest),
totally supported, but sligtly difft config fm normal... You need the
nvidia-kernel* package, you might need to roll-your-own kernel
(probably not, but things usually do work better ) with the
nvidia-kernel-source and you need the nvidia X driver from nvidia-glx
dpkg and you can configure the xorg.conf with nvidia-xconfig or
nvidia-settings debs... there is more complete documentation here:
https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html#id292993
... and here:
http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/index.php
there are warnings about using the nvidia drivers from nvidia's web
site ... this is one that is really a lot easier if you read a little
first.
