I'm setting up a new Debian installation, and all went well until I tried to make a GUI work. The setup is:
1: A respectable Asus / Intel motherboard and CPU
2: An Nvidia 750Ti video card
The "nvidia-detect" script told me that I need the "nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver" package, so I installed that and configured the "Xorg.conf" using the "nvidia-config" script. After many reboots and trying many things, I am well and truly stuck - I need help!
When I run "startx" I get:
Module nvidia-legacy-340xx not found in directory /lib/modules/4.9.0-7-686-pae
and it is right, there is nothing with this name in that directory. NOTE - the missing module reads "nvidia-legacy-340xx", and NOT "nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver"!
So what do I do now?
1: What should be in /lib/modules?
2: Should Linux be looking elsewhere for this module? If so, where and how?
3: Can I copy files into this location, and if so, what?
I appreciate any help I can get.
