Do NOT use nvidia's installer.  Use Debian's installer and things just

I understand. But I found 2 Tutorials for installing the nvidia driver under Debian.

The first one said, you have to apt-get the nvidia-glx-src, but there are no sources!

The second one, there was a problem. Because the makefile differed from the tutorial (apt-get nvidia-kernel-source)

So the nvidia installer was the only way, how it worked fine.

Running 3rd party installers is a bad habit from windows that should be
exterminated.

Okay this shouldn't be done under Debian, but for a newbie it is very difficulty to do that without some informations.


Just my 5 pence.

Greetings

Alexander
