Code: Select all

glx-alternative-nvidia:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.8.8~obs
  Version table:
     0.8.8~obs 500
        500 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/stevenpusser:/new-hardware-support/Debian_9.0  Packages
nvidia-driver:
  Installed: (none)

Does that mean the driver is installed?

Well, what do you think this means?

Code: Select all

nvidia-driver:
  Installed: (none)
It seems pretty obvious to me. Now we have to figure out why. Those results should also show the older stock Debian versions available, but they don't, so something is wrong with your repositories. Let's find out what.

Can you show the result of

Code: Select all

inxi -r
(install inxi if necessary first--if you can't install inxi, something is really wrong)

Of course. Sorry, I wasn't paying enough attention.
This is the output:

Code: Select all

Looks to me like it's fine. I remember some changes when I updated after adding that file as well. Should I put the line directly in sources.list?
