So, do you have the two VGA cards enabled? I also have an Intel embedded
card but IIRC, I disabled it in the BIOS as soon as I plugged the nvidia
card (7600 GS).

yes, that is correct. with my mobo you have to change by hand i n the Bios from 'onboard' to pci &&.
OTOH, it seems that device ID corresponds to nvida 9400 GT.
that 's correct too.
  So I would
test with the nvidia Debian drivers. If they do not work, you can always
come back and activate the Intel one.

that is what i did when the nvidia drivers from *their site* worked out disastrously

I'll look into that wiki (again),

it is almost like the old days of potato and woody. had to fresh up my old brain again. so i installed nvidia-glx and the other required packages. that 's nowadays much easier than in the wiki thanks to apt if you start with <sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx>

after that i put the appropriate sections in my /etx/X11/xorg.conf. nvidia instead of in tel and i made a module section with Load "glx" in it.

i restarted the X-server and now *everything is working like a charm*

he camaleón, i really owe you, man! you really helped me out.

many regards,

steef





it can take some time before i answer again: got to take care of my
family now,
Take your time. Family is first :-)

Saludos,
