Both boot and run ok, but I failed to install nVidia drivers for these twoDo those binary drivers even support running under a 64bit OS? I think I remember reading somewhere that they don't. I could be wrong on this one. Hope this helps,
I run nvidia graphics drivers on my AMD64 3200+, in both 64 bit and 32 bit sid, so they definitely work.
Here's what I do. ~apt-get install module-assistant nvidia-kernel-source ~m-a prepare (sudo or root) ~m-a a-i nvidia (sudo or root) ~dpkg -i /usr/src/nvidia-kernel-moduleXXXXX.deb (sudo or root) ~apt-get install nvidia-glx (sudo or root) Restart X. You may need the -legacy source and glx packages for older hardware. HTH Wackojacko NB I use a custom compiled Kernel, but it shouldn't make any difference.
