I am using nvidia 4191 kernel with my gforce2. The name of the nvidia driver changes depending on which nvidia kernel you are using. If you are using debconf to manage /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, you will need to edit XF86Config-4 and put something like the following at the top of the file: # The area before the DEBCONF SECTION is needed for using # the NVdriver kernel module from nVidia. # # If I want to revert to using the "nv" driver, remember to add # Load "GLcore" # Load "dri" # to Section "Module" # and remember to uninstall nvidis-glx package. Section "Device" Identifier "NVdriver Device" Driver "nvidia" Option "NvAgp" "1" #I need this; you may not EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "NVdriver Screen" [snip: mode definitions for my monitor] EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "My Server Layout" Screen "NVdriver Screen" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" EndSection ### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION [snip] -- Jerome
