I have included it, but my impression is that there is no effect. I tried again the recipes from http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/installation.html and tried to verify nvidia version with "apt-cache policy ..." but can't see nvidia version 7676.

Tomorrow I will make a complete reinstall with debian amd64 etch. Maybe with this release it is easier to install nvidia driver. I hope that kernel 2.6.12 (smp) of etch will work fine. (On my old computer I was not happy with the i386-flavour of this kernel. Printer at parallel port lp0 was not working, dhcp network connection failed often.)

I've been using the following patch against the 1.0.7174-3
nvidia-kernel-source, seems to work OK.

I don't really like these closed source drivers from ati and nvidia, but I think I have to use it. I have just done some google search about debian and nvidia drivers. Some people recommend not to install the nvidia way, but to use the debian way. I found only one detailed explanation about how to do it: http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/installation.html This tutorial is very nice, but I am not sure if it is an official debian recommendation and if it will work for AMD64 too. Can you comment on this? Are there other tutorials around? Will I have only textmode available until I install the nvidia driver, or will the X-Org driver give me an unaccelerated graphical display? You can use the "nv" driver in the mean time. That's what I have been using here and it works fine. I don't know for sure what the difference is but I think if you want 3D acceleration (for gaming) you may need the nvidia drivers. I've been trying to get them installed too, so I'll be watching this thread. The difference, at least to my eyes, is much better font rendering and a generally over all shaper image with the nvidia drivers compared to nv. I didn't realize that a driver could make so much difference but switching to nvidia after using nv for a while was like getting a new monitor. Having said that I can't get the nvidia drivers to work with 2.6.14 but they work fine with 2.6.12. Graham 2.6.14 requires newer drivers than those in sarge or sid: * add "deb-src http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/debian experimental main contrib non-free" to /etc/apt/sources.list * go to a new empty folder * "apt-get update" * "apt-get source -t experimental nvidia-glx" * "apt-get build-dep nvidia-glx" * "cd nvidia*" * "dpkg-buildpackage" * "cd .." * "dpkg -i nvidia-kernel-source*" * "apt-get install module-assistant build-essential" * "cat /proc/version" - make sure your kernel's gcc is installed (e.g. gcc-3.4 must be installed if your kernel was compiled with gcc 3.4.x) * "wget ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/n/nvidia-kernel-common/nvidia-kernel-common_20051028+1_all.deb"; * "dpkg -i nvidia-kernel-common*" * "m-a a-i nvidia" * "dpkg -i nvidia-glx_*" * "dpkg -i nvidia-glx-i*" * "aptitude install nvidia-settings" Change your X server as per usual.
