Frederik,

Thank you!  I've had several failed attempts at installing nvidia-glx 
and getting it working on sarge 2.4.27.  Your "recipe" made it easy. 
(Some other time I'll look to tackle 'which AGP driver?')

May I add suggestions to your fine recipe page under "Post-install?"

1) Directly edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.  For some reason,
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86  didn't work for me.

2) adduser <user> video  # needed for dri to work

3) reboot.  # The docs are correct about this!

4) Remind readers to read the docs in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx.

Thanks again.

Ralph
