Thanks for the tips! I downloaded the etch cd and it detected my card and
installed fine. The only issue now is getting the nvidia driver installed.
The 'nv' driver doesn't work with my widescreen display at all. It looks
like to do this, I need to have a custom kernel so the driver from nvidia
can build a module for it. Might there be an easier way to do this?
m-a update
m-a prepare
m-a a-i nvidia
modconf
-> select and load the nvidia module
m-a stands for the module-assistant. The above procedure requires for you to
have contrib non-free (along with main) added to your apt-get mirrors in
the /etc/apt/sources.list
You will need to do this every time you update your kernel.
