When I first upgraded to Wheezy, I believe that is what I did (used nvidia-xconfig to create xorg.conf) and was unable to start X. This time, after installing an nvidia driver using sudo aptitude -s install nvidia-kernel-dkms install linux-headers-amd64 I manually created /etc/xorg.conf.d using the directions at http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers. All went well. After a reboot, X started, the 3D stuff is working, scrolling in chrome is a lot faster. Fonts have changed slightly, it seems. I wouldn't say for the better but I'll adapt soon enough. Only thing I've noticed that is obviously worse is that the virtual terminal font is now big and ugly. I recall that the same occured when I previously tried an nvidia driver in Squeeze. -- Joe Riel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
