Trouble Installing nvidia-graphics-driver on Etch
Hi folks,
just intstalled Etch after 2 years with Sarge. My graphic-card is of the brand nVidia, and when I had Sarge
I used an installation-manual of the nVidia-driver from this website:
http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/installation.html
I tried this on Etch but in all tries, X won't start when I finish the installation and put
Driver "nvidia"
instead of
Driver "nv"
in the xorg.conf file. At the bottom of this mail is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
What can I do to install the nVidia-driver properly?
Kernel: 2.6.15-1-486
Debian Etch, testing
Cheers, Vegard
