Hello Stephen, >system? Also, is it possible to direct the installer to use the >nvidia-driver rather the nouveau package. Difficult; There are multiple versions of the nvidia driver available. What you need/want to install depends on various factors, not least of which is the model of card being used as some cards will require one of the legacy drivers, rather than the current driver. Adding the relevant tests to the installer for what is a fairly small number of people installing Debian with nvidia GFX cards is probably not worth the effort. Further to what Georgi wrote; The nvidia driver works with the nouveau driver still in place (i.e. the nouveau driver gets blacklisted). Of course, you can still remove the nouveau driver if you wish to do so. Personally, I never bothered - disk drive space is cheap these days. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" You never listen to a word that I said Public Image - Public Image Ltd
