Is it difficult (possible?) to backport the nvidia 100.14.19 packages to etch?
I have noted some changes in the packaging, placing and naming of some files that is evident in the pre/post inst and rm scripts. Anything else to take into consideration? Background is that I'm helping a collegue with a new Dell D830 laptop which has a nVidia NVS Quadro 140 graphics card. The version of nvidia-graphics-drivers in etch does not support this card (and vesa seems to fail to, at least in the native resolution). The documentation to nvidia's drivers says it needs xorg >= 6.7 or so. But the Debian/sid packages at version 100.14.19 requires xorg > 2:1.4 which corresponds to xorg 7.4 (I think). Etch ships with 2:1.1.* corresponding to 7.1. So the nvidia drivers should be usable with etch. Anders -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
