    hmm, I don't have nvidia-installer on my system and
    apt-cache search nvidia-installer
    gives nothing... I have been using the debian nonfree packages, are you
    saying I should move to the upstream release?
    nvidia is in /etc/modules, and the line
    SUBSYSTEM=="nvidia", GROUP="video"
    was in my /etc/udev/permissions.rules

    -- but I haven't really set up udev yet, that's sort of next on my list
    -- should I do some in depth udev exploration before I continueo n the
    nvidia quest?
