Hello again, sorry but I forgot to mention that I want to install the nvidia-driver from Sid in my testing/squeeze installation. Maybe "apt-pinning" was a hint.

It is a time ago that I used Debian and at that time you could install the driver with apt-get directly from the non-free repository. I installed testing/squeeze and sid in virtual machines and was surprised that I was force to use module-assistant and so on. It is no problem at all. 1.) Is that the new default way of installing the nvidia driver coming with Squeeze or is this a temporary situation because Squeeze is still in testing state? 2.) Is it possible to install the nvidia driver from Sid with module-assistant? Apt-pinning is already configured. Thank you for your help! Greetings, Lars Tennstedt
