Re: Wheezy NVidia driver for card GT 750M

[Onur Aslan <onuraslan@gmail.com>]

Wiki page is a bit old. NVIDIA drivers requires binary kernel module.

You have two options to install this module:

1. Upgrade your kernel to backported version and use precompiled
NVIDIA binary kernel module:

To do this first install new kernel with:

  apt-get install -t wheezy-backports linux-image-$(dpkg --print-architecture)

Reboot your machine with new kernel and install nvidia-driver with:

  apt-get install -t wheezy-backports nvidia-driver nvidia-kernel-$(uname -r)



2. You can compile binary kernel module

If you don't want to upgrade your kernel to backported version you need
to compile nvidia-kernel driver for your current kernel. You need linux-headers
for this:

Install linux-headers with:

  apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

And install nvidia drivers with:

  apt-get install -t wheezy-backports nvidia-driver nvidia-kernel-dkms


I assumed you added backports to your sources.list
