does anybody knows what drivers i have to use for my laptop (dell xps) ?
videocard is nvidia 7900 go but nvidia does only have drivers for
windows.
First, get xorg working with nv so that you know everything else works.
Install the nvidia-glx, and other nvidia- packages.
Run nvidia-config which alters your xorg.conf to use the nvidia drivers
and ensures that the modules are loaded.
If you are using a stock debian kernel, there's not reason to compile
the modules. It has already been done for you in the matching nvidia-kernel
package.
There's been lots of discussion on the lists for this. The earlier
messages were from before the -kernel packages were available in Etch.
Good luck.
Doug.
