Hi Alan.

I've heard about problems associated the nvidia binaries, leaving the user 
without X and a hosed system.  I think that was the fault of the nVidia 
installer, though.

I'm running testing and was wanting to compile a module against my [only] 
running kernel:  2.6.15-1-amd64-generic.

module-assistant says that I need gcc-4.0 to compile the nvidia source against 
this kernel.

I'm running a asus M2NPV-VM motherboard which has an NFORCE-MCP51 chipset that 
is not supported yet, and the 2.6.15-1-amd64-generic debian kernel is the 
only one that boots this machine.  Tried 2.6.19.2 of course.

What binaries/amd64 packages are you using?

Thanks,
