Greetings, I installed some high-end Nvidia cards on LInux (Debian and Ubuntu) lately, While I don't have the names and models handy, those models had perfect support , the drivers were up-to-date and showed full utilization of the hardware power. The main trouble I had was with Ubuntu's ever-new Kernels, and getting the kernel sources/ headers to be read by the installation script . For multiple monitors setup, I used 'nvidia-settings' , and while it took some times, the correct settings were found, written to xorg.conf, and the rest is history. So, just check online that the card your aiming for has Linux drivers, and you should be fine. -- Guy Gold -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi Ray, This can be a good place to start: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch06s01.html.en Regardless of if you'll go with scripting or not : "These messages can also be found in /var/log/syslog.

It is a good solution if a narrow list of options is needed from the printer. In my environment , if I use the 'narrow' direct IP printing, then, I'm not able to use the duplexer, and some other options that are offered by the printer- if I'm using the Samba share to add the printer I can use the full set of features (just like a Windows machine would) -- Quick and simple Linux solutions Blog - http://www.at4me.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Debian 6.0 , not named as GNU/Linux ?
This may be an OT, but, just in case :
Source link :
http://www.debian.org/releases/
I've noticed that, up to "squeeze", the Debian versions are called
"Debian GNU/Linux" , but, "squeeze" is called simply "Debian" ,
can anyone shed some light on this matter ? Or, is it just a typo, and
I'm making a deal out of it...
This is from the above link :
The next release of Debian is codenamed "wheezy" — no release
date has been set
Debian 6.0 ("squeeze") — current stable release
Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 ("lenny") — obsolete stable release
Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 ("etch") — obsolete stable release
Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 ("sarge") — obsolete stable release
Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 ("woody") — obsolete stable release
Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 ("potato") — obsolete stable release
Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 ("slink") — obsolete stable release
Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 ("hamm") — obsolete stable release

Touchpad (laptop) stopped working
Greetings list , I have a week or so old Debian 6.0.5 installed. The mousepad (touchpad) is not working, both in case of moving the cursor, or using left/right click with the nearby buttons. and not matter what I try, it is not showing any good signs. I did try to rmmmod / modprobe psmouse ,no go. I followed the wiki : http://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchpad , but , no go. I went the /etc/X11/xorg.conf way , and also the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d./synaptics.conf way, no go. Here's some output : egrep -i 'synap|alps|etps' /proc/bus/input/devices N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" lsb_release -a Distributor ID: Debian Release:6.0.5 uname -r 2.6.32-5-amd64 The touchpad settings are present under system > preferences > mouse, and it looks like the system is quite happy and does not know anything about the fact that something's wrong with the touchpad.

So, the last thing I was about to do, before calling it a night, was to dim the display using a function key, and then, I noticed the function key to disable the touchpad, guess what happened when I pressed 'function+key'.
