Re: NVIDIA driver installation on Debian 8.2

Hi Liu,

if your system is Optimus you need install bumblebee and configure it, I had same problem recently.

Steps:

kill lightdm

install nvidia-driver

install nvidia-xconf

run nvidia-xconf

reboot

install bumblebee

configure bumblebee

restart service of bumblebee

I also archieve this steps using nvidia PPA in debian with codename trusty, I hope it helps you.

Hi

I'm a debian newbie. I installed latest Debian with xfce on my laptop. I used official DVD-ROM. My graphics card is NV Geforce GT 640M LE. I installed 360.65 driver for my graphics card following the instructions on wiki:
https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Debian_8_.22Jessie.22

The installation process went well. But once I created Xorg server configuration file and restarted, I cannot enter xfce. It says there are X-window server errors. If I delete the conf file, I can enter. But nvidia configuration setting reports the driver is not working.

Can anybody help me? Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Gengdai
