Pretty Please,
tell me this isn't true:
The only sensible answer I got from debian list boils down to: "use
proprietary driver".
This is truly sad, especially since I *know* Linux Mint (which is a
debian derivative, through ubuntu parentage) does indeed work
out-of-the-box with *no* configuration at all.
Presumably with a proprietary driver. Mint makes no claims to be
entirely Free.
You should (!) not presume too much.
I am not used to speak without checking.
Linux Mint uses nouveau for NVidia.
Then why can't you use the same version of nouveau in Debian?
Sometimes I ask myself if I really am an idiot unable to understand what people
says.
I fail to understand what You are really asking.
I, very obviously, *am* using the same version of nouveau.
Unfortunately drivers do not live in a vacuum and thus *that* nouveau behaves
differently in the two ecosystems.
I have been unable (to date) to pinpoint significant difference between the two
systems.
Do You really think I would be here begging for help if I knew what was
different?
What I am asking is exactly some help to diagnose this debian fault.

If You would have bothered checking lsmod I sent a few days ago you would
have known.

Thanks Ric,
care to share details on how You managed such a marvel?
How did You disable the internal (intel) "video card" (actually inside
the CPU chip)? From BIOS?
What other configuration did You do?
I just disabled the video feature in the bios. Then I loaded the nvidia
driver. Then I used nvidia-settings to use xinerama and to configure
the order of the monitors. When you "save to X configuration file",
save it in your home directory as you are "user" and not able to save
directly to /etc/X11. Open a terminal and "sudo cp xorg.conf /etc/X11"
to put it there. If you have monitors of differing size, the X Server
Display Configuration will allow you to play tricks, like panning to a
smaller screen to be bigger through scrolling. Slick! Ric
