Issue "lspci | grep VGA" and put here the output. If your nvidia card is indeed 9400 GT you can try the nvidia driver available within Debian repositories.

In fact, I've also got them installed for my Quadro NVS 440: *** s...@stt008:~$ dpkg -l | grep nvidia ii nvidia-glx 173.14.09-5 NVIDIA binary Xorg driver ii nvidia-kernel-2.6.26-2-amd64 173.14.09+3+lenny1 NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.6.26 ii nvidia-kernel-common 20080825+1 NVIDIA binary kernel module common files *** I followed the steps provided at Debian wiki (pre-built modules): http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
