[SOLVED] Re: Nvidia Lenny today not working.



Hi, I grabbed nvidia-kernel-source[a] and nvidia-glx[b] from [1]

a.nvidia-kernel-source_173.14.09-5_amd64.deb
b.nvidia-glx_173.14.09-5_amd64.deb
1.http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers/

First installed kernel sources 173 then ran m-a as described before,
installed nvidia-glx and everything went fine.

The thing that has to be noticed is to get the kernel-sources that
are compatible with xorg.

Len, thank you for your suggestion.  The wiki helped a lot on this
issue too. Thanks to all.
