On a Dell Precision M4600 laptop, I installed a clean Wheezy release, installed nvidia drivers along with the dkms packages that go with. Because of network driver trouble, I took the kernel from sid. After that, everything works fine. I mean, video is fine. Networking still a problem. Here is my version information:
