Of course the permissions aren't set - it isn't udev after all creating the nodes; it's the init script (where I found links.conf in the first place!). My mistake. There doesn't appear to be a "Debian way" of doing this; after all, it's non-free software.

Some of us prefer to not have a mess and follow the rule of 'everything in /usr comes from dpkg except /usr/local' Saves lots of headaches on upgrades too since properly diverted files aren't overwritten by dpkg, while manually installed stuff (like the nvidia installer) will be.

The time spent with nv-installer is about the same of "apt-get&C." But nvidia-installer overwrites a bunch of files dpkg is meant to handle (and the --uninstall option does NOT cleanly remove it).

You can always try adding 'nvidia' to /etc/modules Then it WILL load the module on boot. If you run udev or something else silly that makes /dev virtual then there is likely nothing there for X to try and open to cause modprobe to load the nvidia driver, while if you just load the nvidia driver, the device nodes will appear and work just fine. With a regular /dev it should just notify modprobe when something (X) tries to open the /dev/nvidia* nodes and then modprobe loads the nvidia module due to: athlon:~# cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-nkc alias char-major-195* nvidia So of course if /dev/nvidia* doesn't exist (thanks to udev use or devfs) then the alias may not help anything, and the module doesn't load.
