I'm using "nv", so I thought I'd try the proprietary nvidia driver.
Following any of the methods on
http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers just leads me down the
same path to the point where I find "nvidia.ko failed to build" in
the logs.
I'm using the stock kernel 2.6.26-bpo.1-686 from apt, and trying to
get the nvidia-glx-legacy nvidia-kernel-common
nvidia-kernel-legacy-2.6-686 packages from non-free to install, but
using the instruction:
m-a auto-install nvidia
leads to the error "nvidia.ko failed build", as I mentioned above.
Take a look at this link:
-- http://tinyplanet.ca/~lsorense/debian/debian-nvidia-dri-howto.html
I followed those instructions to the letter with no success. It was good in that
it was definitive about whether I should be using legacy or not, however the
only other main difference from the wiki article was the m-a command:
m-a a-i -i -t -f nvidia-kernel-source
which made no difference to the end result of the nvidia.ko build.
I think it's something to do with v 2.6.26-bpo.1-686
Is that the kernel version you're running too?

Adam
