I'm using the nvidia driver on Debian testing AMD64 with out any problems
(except that I had to install a newer kernel when installing the driver).
When comparing to the open-sourced driver I've also noticed that the nvidia is
faster than the nv (at least in my case).
To be honest I've chosen th

Last time I tried the nv driver on my 6800 my display was borked due
to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6212 which you would
have known about had you attempted to use the nv driver with your
card
I strongly suggest to use nvidia driver, of course no one needs 3D
accel (except to play) but the experience is better, if the nvidia
driver works for you without flaws use it.
And that's true if you don't use 3D or at least xscreensaver-gl use a
cheap video card and give that one to a young boy

A 7300GT is a fairly bottom-of-the-line card. It's the cheapest card I've seen
that has dual-link DVI connectors (requi

IMHO I don't see the point in having a GeForce 7300 GT unless you are at
least enabling its power/capabilities. The 2D nv driver is fine but the
nvidia driver is better. Sure you have to either compile from sources
yourself or run the nvidia sh downloadable install but no more hassle than
that.

I used the nvidia driver initially while running sarge on the AMD64. I
