Yes, thanks. Sure, experimental and unstable too already have new enough
drivers but as you say that means dozens of packages from unstable (43
to be exact) or going completely to unstable.

Well, getting the dual screen setup working in Arch was quite
interesting. With Yesterday's Arch it works but considering my earlier
two tries were crashy I don't think I want to run Arch or Debian
Unstable for more than experiments and previews.

Thanks to Hans too for mentioning Nvidia's installer. I did that for
years and maybe now again.

Yes, in a few weeks or months.
