The first time I installed nvidia proprietary drivers was 3/4 years ago. In that time I was running openSUSE 10.1 and hopefully, nvidia provided rpm drivers in their site so installation went straightforward (very easy and worked fine: I needed 3D for running Google Earth and Twinview setup for the two displays I had attached). That time (and that time was 4 years ago) I installed the same drivers I have nowadays (173.xx). Why I have not updated to the latest ones (195.x)? Because "if it works, don't touch it" and I don't needed to do fancy things in that computer and the old version was (and is still) working without glitches. >>> I'll look into that wiki (again), >>> >>> > it is almost like the old days of potato and woody. had to fresh up my > old brain again. so i installed nvidia-glx and the other required > packages. that 's nowadays much easier than in the wiki thanks to apt if > you start with <sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx> Yes, I have also encountered the "Debian-way" plain easy.
