With NVidia the almost automatic response is to dive into the proprietry driver pool. It seems to me that unless 3D is a need (used by less than 5% of users) or the card is not supported well, you are going to be served well by the nouveau driver. It is also set up automatically with a Squeeze or Sid install so why jump through the hoops of getting a proprietry driver installed unless you have particlar obvious needs. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
