Re: Geforce FX 5900XT

It appears that it is a mistake on my part... after checking Jen's reply carefully, I found out that somewhere between when I first started trying to install the nvidia drivers and now... my kernel version had changed... previously, I had the correct headers (kernel-headers-2.6.8-10-amd64-k8),

Re: Geforce FX 5900XT

Hi, Basically there are four steps to follow if you want to get nVidia support working. Non-free must be included in your sources.list. 1. apt-get install nvidia-kernel-source nvidia-kernel-common 2. Follow the steps in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-source/README.Debian 3. apt-get install nvidi
