Thanks for the reply - as I said the only 8178 I found claimed to be only for
i386.
Now, I went to the nvidia web site and got their driver-installer script
(appr. 9MB) -- it worked right-away (I followed instructions from
http://wiki.serios.net/wiki/Debian_NVIDIA_proprietary_display_driver_installation)
Only concern of course now is that I would like to know where the hell this
script put its (glx / module / X ) files .... !?!?!?
But its working
Thanks again for your help.
