Here is what I did on KDE system to install the latest nVidia driver
1. Download the driver
Obviously the name will change as per driver.
2. Enter a non x-server terminal and run the package
1. Download the driver
Code: Select all
# cd /home/user
# wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9755/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9755-pkg1.run
2. Enter a non x-server terminal and run the package
Code: Select all
Ctrl-Alt-F1
# su -
<Enter password>
# cd /home/user
# /etc/init.d/kdm stop
# sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9755-pkg1.run

Indeed it is! I first heard of Mzilikazi in Micheners book "The Covenant" and found him to be a very fascinating man.jongi wrote: mzilikazi is a distinctly South African sounding name

I know. Than I don't understand your posting before. sorry for that.CocoAUS wrote:It is (or was not long ago...too lazy to check) in the Testing and Stable repos. Besides, all the tools are right in the repos, just nvidia-kernel isn't.Chris Cornell wrote:which repos? the official one? ever thought about the licence?
Hi!
I've followed this howto.
However it doesn't work for me.
When i do modprobe nvidia
I've this output
People from non debian forums, may think because I had a ubuntu installed before.
When I've installed my debian I kept my home only.
I need your helps! Thank you!

I followed the method which have mentioned in the first topic and now nvidia support is working ok but many opengl games are very slow and glxgears gives me low fps numbers
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Code: Select all
$ glxgears
1345 frames in 5.7 seconds = 234.673 FPS
562 frames in 5.6 seconds = 100.933 FPS
712 frames in 6.9 seconds = 103.724 FPS
661 frames in 5.3 seconds = 123.842 FPS
906 frames in 7.4 seconds = 122.698 FPS
722 frames in 5.4 seconds = 134.650 FPS
622 frames in 5.2 seconds = 120.659 FPS
811 frames in 5.0 seconds = 162.034 FPS
952 frames in 5.8 seconds = 164.088 FPS
601 frames in 5.3 seconds = 114.419 FPS
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
I was getting a similar, albeit far worse, result. I was lucky to get 60FPS. Far lower than what my system can do. Anyways, I just restarted my machine and it seemed to fix itself.paul555 wrote:I followed the method which have mentioned in the first topic and now nvidia support is working ok but many opengl games are very slow and glxgears gives me low fps numbersDoes anyone know how to fix this?Code: Select all

It simply adds 'nvidia' to /etc/modules if it is not already there.mshihrer wrote: So can I ask what the following line is for?
