First, get xorg working with nv so that you know everything else works. Install the nvidia-glx, and other nvidia- packages. Run nvidia-config which alters your xorg.conf to use the nvidia drivers and ensures that the modules are loaded. If you are using a stock debian kernel, there's not reason to compile the modules. It has already been done for you in the matching nvidia-kernel package. There's been lots of discussion on the lists for this. The earlier messages were from before the -kernel packages were available in Etch. Good luck. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
