Thanks for an interesting read, almost philosophical as it were, I see this package is available for sid however although it will create a fancy looking /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, more exotic than the one I wrought by hand, this is not what I needed. I became aware that a necessary package was missing: linux-headers-amd64 then an extra step of reinstalling the package: nvidia-kernel-dkms By that re-installation the dkms kernel will, in the presence of the correct linux-headers, provide the nvidia module, that necessary thing required to use 'nvidia' in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I would not have known this except for Lennart Sorensen who explained it to me. -- CK -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
