Try these lines in your sources.list. ## Nvidia drivers for unstable deb http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia unstable nvidia-graphics-drivers deb http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia unstable nvidia-xconfig deb http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia unstable nvidia-settings deb http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia unstable nvidia-kernel-common I believe they will work with stable instead of unstable in the lines as well if you run that. You probably going to need to use =1.0-8178-1 on the end of the package name to tell it which specific driver/source packages to install. > Thanks Alex You welcome, Stephen -- Debian the choice of a GNU generation GPG Public Key: http://users.eastlink.ca/~stephencormier/publickey.asc
