Mint makes no claims to be entirely Free.You should (!) not presume too much. I am not used to speak without checking. Linux Mint uses nouveau for NVidia.Then why can't you use the same version of nouveau in Debian?
Sometimes I ask myself if I really am an idiot unable to understand what people says. I fail to understand what You are really asking. I, very obviously, *am* using the same version of nouveau. Unfortunately drivers do not live in a vacuum and thus *that* nouveau behaves differently in the two ecosystems. I have been unable (to date) to pinpoint significant difference between the two systems. Do You really think I would be here begging for help if I knew what was different? What I am asking is exactly some help to diagnose this debian fault. Regards Mauro
If You would have bothered checking lsmod I sent a few days ago you would have known.

How did You disable the internal (intel) "video card" (actually inside the CPU chip)? From BIOS? What other configuration did You do?I just disabled the video feature in the bios. Then I loaded the nvidia driver. Then I used nvidia-settings to use xinerama and to configure the order of the monitors. When you "save to X configuration file", save it in your home directory as you are "user" and not able to save directly to /etc/X11. Open a terminal and "sudo cp xorg.conf /etc/X11" to put it there. If you have monitors of differing size, the X Server Display Configuration will allow you to play tricks, like panning to a smaller screen to be bigger through scrolling. Slick! Ric
