First remove all nvidia packages (i.e. "aptitude purge ~nnvidia*" ,then download the script. It is a "NVidia_something,run" file. Make it executable and start it. You will need a supported kernel (the newer, the better), the linux-header- files and maybe sourcefiles. The easyiest way, to get the needed stuff, is running "module-assistant", which has an option to downloiad and install all needed packages, to build kernel modules. Just a note: It happend from time to time, that the stock Nvidia drivers do not build with the running kernel. That is a problem by the Nvidia itself and should be reported to Nvidia. However, the nvidia-packages in the repo include sometimes patches made by the great debian developers. This is the moment, where I must say a biiiig "THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR WORK!!!" to these developers, as without them, often the Nvidia-drivers won't work. When building the drivers, pay attention, that no nvidia module is loaded. Also you should get rid of the nouveau module (either blacklist it or just delete it from the kernel tree). I hope this helps a little bit. Good luck and best regards! Hans > I managed to snag a new video card with Nvidia's RTX3070Ti.
