The latter is my fault: There are now two legacy-drivers available, but the 'current' one in Etch still supports my card. So I tried again, using the 'normal' driver. This time it worked. Not quite, though, because the TV-out is still unavailable, due to another bug in here: #414782 And this time the Nvidia-installer won't help, because this time it is a bug in Debian's Xorg. Altogether, the update Sarge->Etch - at least to me - closely resembles the step from XP->Vista. Only, the RedMond people somehow know what crap they are doing; while in here I'm told by QA that Nvidia isn't in Etch, lpr is exotic (deprecated ?), and everyone else seems to migrate their xfce4-settings splendidly from Sarge to Etch. Exactly what you expect Quality Assurance to state. - Not !?
