Hardware: MSI 760GM-E51 motherboard & MSI N640GT-MD2GD3 (GT 640)
1. Open a shell and su to root
2. Purge all fglrx related packages/configurations DKMS specifics should go away as well -->
Code: Select all
apt-get purge fglrx*
Code: Select all
rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-fglrx.conf
4. Shut the computer down. Replace the ATI card with the Nvidia card. Power on. Make any BIOS changes as necessary. You'll boot back to login prompt (X won't be running)
5. Get back to su and follow the guide (I used Wheezy version 304.88) for NvidiaGraphicsDrivers at https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsD ... 2Wheezy.22 Follow along and answer any questions.
6. Here is where it deviated from norm for me: I had to reinstall the nvidia-glx -->
Code: Select all
apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-glx
7. Reboot and X should pop up.
All in all, I must say the Nvidia card is working a lot better than ATI - just my experience.
edit: I'm doing this from memory and will check my notes when I get home to ensure accuracy. I'll remove this edit page when done.
