Thanks, Matthew. It worked. When I restarted xorg after installing the nvidia packages, it was still using the 'nv' driver. So I added the lines above to my /etc/xorg.conf and restarted x again ... and, viola, nvidia driver in use. I didn't want to have to generate a complete xorg.conf either. -- Michael M. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
