Re: Hey everyone, GUI isn't working; I can't figure out how to configure my xserver correctly.
Hi List !
Since we are talking about Nvidia, I have a (silly) issue:
I have a Nvidia GeForce 7300. On a Lenny box, it works "out of the box". On an Etch box, it installs with Vesa, and once you enable contrib & non-free in the sources.list, you can install either "nv" or "nvidia-glx".
I am on my amd64 Etch box. Everything is fine, I use the "nvidia-glx" drivers....
...But my mouse's pointer is flickering when apps are loading (!!!), for instance, when a web-page is charging, or any app (OOo, etc...) is loading...
-Would you guys know how to make the flickering pointer stop ?
Thanks a lot in advance !

Well, I got Nvidia 8600GT and it didn't work in etch. But lenny works,
and nv in lenny supports this card. So, I would assume, 8800 should work
in lenny as well. It isn't supported in etch.
