hi,
i can't seem to get this to work, i'm running testing and the only available packages related to nvidia are:
- nvtv
- nvidia-kernel-common
- nvidia-settings
there is no nvidia-kernel-source or nvidia-glx which is needed in all the tutorials i've found.
i downloaded the driver from nvidia.com but it gives an error when building while all the necessary packages like make, gcc, kernel-source(unpacked),... are installed.
is there an easy way to setup the nvidia driver on testing?
grtz

I guess you have to enable non-free packages (and perhaps contributed is good too) in your system.
Change the lines in /etc/apt/sources.list to be like this:
deb ftp://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
Then update and install module-assistant and command 'module-assistant auto-install nvidia'.
Definetily the easiest way.

it gives an error about rivafb
is there a way to disable rivafb in the kernel or bypass the check?

Code: Select all
The rivafb driver conflicts with the NVIDIA driver, please
reconfigure your kernel and *disable* rivafb support, then
try installing the NVIDIA kernel module again.
