I am running etch. I installed the legacy nvidia driver to work around

drivers.
Some googling turns up nothing except the fact that the nvidia drivers
aren't working on etch:

I tried downloading the unstable driver packages and doing dpkg -i.
The unstable drivers depend on xorg 1.7.0, so that was a bust.
I was hoping to keep my driver installed 'the debian way' rather than
install the package from Nvidia. Does anyone know how best to install
the nvidia graphics driver on etch?
Try the line(s) in your sources.list mentioned on the maintainers page (1) use
something less than the -3 version of the 8756 driver IIRC to not have the
dependency on Xorg 7.
