hmm, I don't have nvidia-installer on my system and apt-cache search nvidia-installer gives nothing... I have been using the debian nonfree packages, are you saying I should move to the upstream release? nvidia is in /etc/modules, and the line SUBSYSTEM=="nvidia", GROUP="video" was in my /etc/udev/permissions.rules -- but I haven't really set up udev yet, that's sort of next on my list -- should I do some in depth udev exploration before I continueo n the nvidia quest? matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
