Hi Thilo,

it should work. Please check:

1, Build the kernel-module (just use the souurces of the Debian-repository)

2. Install the module ans make shure it is loaded (add it in /etc/modules)

3, Install the package "nvidia-glx" 

4.  Remove /etc/init.d/kdm, /etc/init.d/gdm and/or /etc/init.d/xdm

5. reboot, it makes sure, TLS ist set correctly

6. Check it, with the command: "startx" at the prompt.

Now you can see, why it does not worl.

Remeber: Users must be in group "video" and maybe "nvidia"



Good luck and best regards

Hans
