I think we might have a misunderstanding here: Stable = Sarge (at the moment) Testing = Etch (at the moment Unstable = Sid (forever) Experimental = Well, do you feel lucky, punk? > # nvidia driver: see http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/index.php > # use this source line for unstable drivers > deb http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia unstable > nvidia-graphics-drivers > deb http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia unstable nvidia-kernel-common > deb http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia unstable nvidia-settings > deb http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia unstable nvidia-xconfig > deb http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia unstable modules For Unstable/Sid the normal repository is enough to get all the nvidia packages, but you need "non-free" (and "contrib" for one configuration utility). This is what I have: deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib deb-src http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib (It should of course also work with the mirrors in other countries.) > In that case all should work well??
