Heads up for NVIDIA users
Hello, I don't see this mentioned anywhere in the latest posts so I thought I'd post it: The latest proprietary linux driver on the NVIDIA website (195.36.08, URL: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_195.36.08.html), which I understand covers many more GPUs than my GT220 causes X to not be able to detect any screens when installed on my Squeeze box. I was fortunate enough to have the 190.53 driver on my hard disk and I reinstalled that, or else I'd have to either wget a hard-to-flawlessly-copy URL or force myself to learn how to use mount (which wouldn't be a bad thing, in retrospect). Anyways, I'd recommend waiting for the next driver and I'm probably reporting this on their website.

Sven Hey, It seems the driver works fine if you manually setup the fan control. I have been using nvclock to-do this eg: #nvclock -f -F 70 I dont want to downgrade due to experiencing better performance with the newer driver. note: GTX260 core BE, temps stable $ nvclock -T nvidia GeForce GTX 260 = GPU temperature: 65C = Board temperature: 55C And that's under load Regards, Angus.
