[SOLVED]Fresh inst of Debian,problems with Nvidia cards?

[wxckol]

Okay Steve, here we are friend, it's done, we have made it I told you to believe.
Now, i have faced some issue with the nvidia card at the starting, but nothing that with some searches was too hard to resolve.
I'll post some suggestions for those who have an nvidia graphic card of the series 6xxx or 7xxx, like me, and want to make it working properly.
Don't install the package nvidia-driver, but instead install this one: nvidia-legacy.304xx-driver, who does support your card. Proceed then to install nvidia-xconfig, nvidia-settings and nvidia-kernel-3.16.0-4-amd64 (for 64bit architecture). That will do the trick. Am i right Pussier?

Thank you for your help.

Glad to see you have got it going! If you end up also wanting to run 32-bit 3D programs on your 64-bit system, such as Steam games or Windows games in Wine, there are some more additional steps you need to do to add i386 support and then the 32-bit openGL library (change as appropriate for legacy drivers): https://wiki.debian.org/Steam
