Hi
 
> 2. During the debian install it prompted me to specifiy my graphics card so I seleted 'nv'. However I have now looked at nvidia and they do their own driver which has I presume is better for my needs in terms of OpenGL support etc. Can I install this on Debian without messing up other files/settings. I can not install it at the moment until I disable GDM as Xfree86 is always running and the installer keeps saying exit X before installing the driver.

Check out the excellent Debian nVidia Howto
