In stable Jessie I'm currently using 340.96-1 driver for my Nvidia K2100M.
I'm having some issues with the card, mostly quite notable latency, while working with Gedit or LibreOffice Write. While looking for options to improve the performance I found that google is full with suggestions to include in xorg.conf among some others this line: Option "MigrationHeuristic" greedy Actually it is advised on the Debian Nvidia Wiki page as well. However, I see that such option is not listed in the X Config Options doc on Nvidia web side. It looks like it simply does not exist. When I included it in xorg.conf, my system log displayed "NVIDIA(0): Option "MigrationHeuristic" is not used." Could somebody explain, what this option means and how to enable it, if it exists? Or it is just another copy-paste ghost that lives on internet its own live without any connection to reality? Another thing - I'm considering to install Nvidia version 352.79 (via jessie-backports) instead of my current driver. - Anybody used it on stable? Is it stable? Any improvements vs. 340.96-1? - Should I first remove my current driver and then install the new one from backports? Or I can just shoot 'apt-get install -t jessie-backports nvidia-driver', and apt-get would take care of replacing the current driver with the new one? Thanks.
