Just a hint: Sometimes the nvidia-config module says, you need

340.xx, but this is not always true. My card (with th eolder

kernel) was running 390.xx, although th esystem told me, I have to

use 340.xx. 390.xx was running like a charm, 340.xx crashed. So it

lied.

Sorry, that I can help no further and for the bad news, but do not

try too much - I fear, you will fail!  

So far, this is the best advice, so don't apologize.

I had assumed that when NVidia said I need 340 that it is undoubtedly

true. I'll try 390.

Have you tried "nvidia-detect" package? This tells you what driver you

need.

In my machine, I installed nvdia-tesla-470-driver and it works fine.

Did the 470 driver work for the GeForce 8600M? I tried to install the 390 driver, but it said "This driver will ignore your GPU" so I didn't finish the installation.
