Thanks for the reply - as I said the only 8178 I found claimed to be only for i386. Now, I went to the nvidia web site and got their driver-installer script (appr. 9MB) -- it worked right-away (I followed instructions from http://wiki.serios.net/wiki/Debian_NVIDIA_proprietary_display_driver_installation) Only concern of course now is that I would like to know where the hell this script put its (glx / module / X ) files .... !?!?!?
