If that is the case, then you'd likely not have the 9755, but at best
the 9746. In Sid however, it's still 8776, which is quite old.
- From my experience if one installs nvidia-glx then wants to update to
the drivers from nvidia's site, one must remove nvidia-glx first or the
installer doesn't work right. I've played with these drivers for a long
time because of a stupid bug in my motherboard.
It will be the last time I buy a machine that is "named brand", that is
for sure. This computer is a Compaq Presario SR1617NL, which I picked
up rather cheap. I know why now.
