The proprietary Nvidia installer does a good job of configuring
everything here, just works. It will write a new .xorg file and
backup
the old file, if present.
Caveats, no Debian Nvidia stuff installed,
So how do I get rid of what I have just installed?
blacklist the nouveau
That seems to have been done successfully.
driver, which Nvidia installer offers to do, that is not a
reference
to a Linux kernel version.
