hmm, I don't have nvidia-installer on my system and
apt-cache search nvidia-installer
gives nothing... I have been using the debian nonfree packages, are you
saying I should move to the upstream release?
nvidia is in /etc/modules, and the line
SUBSYSTEM=="nvidia", GROUP="video"
was in my /etc/udev/permissions.rules
-- but I haven't really set up udev yet, that's sort of next on my list
-- should I do some in depth udev exploration before I continueo n the
nvidia quest?
