I eventually found that out. But it took a couple of years to happen, and it only broke on my 64-bit system. My solution on that system? Avoid the nvidia driver, and use the nv driver. It seems faster (for normal desktop work), and it handles dual monitors (two video cards), though not TwinView. So, ultimately, my mistake actually turned out to be a benefit. Though I'm /still/ using the regular nvidia binary installer on my 32-bit work laptop. What bugged me more was the latest xorg transition. Anyway, I hope Debian doesn't get as wrapped-around-the-axle with scripting the way RedHat did by version 8 (long ago). That's what prompted me to stop using RedHat. -- Q: Why is it that Mexico isn't sending anyone to the '84 summer games?

Until the next xorg upgrade overwrites one of the files and breaks things. Packages are a much better idea to use. The nvidia installer is one of those awful things that works fine initially but will cause a breakage down the road when doing something seemingly unrelated.

vesa mode
Hi all, mybe someone can explain this: I am starting my debian system with the parameter vga=791 (to switch into vesa mode) Sometimes the computer (AMI-BIOS) does not do it correctly (stays in 640x480 then), but with a reset everything starts perfectly. What is the reason for this behaviour? On my amd64-system (Phoenix BIOS) this behaviour NEVER appeared. Is the reason for this the setting "VGA initialisation" ? In my BIOS it is set to "AGP" as I am using an AGP-Graphicscard. Or is it just a timing problem? Would be nice, if someone could give me some background information.
