I followed the wiki as per nvidia-detect https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers
Debian 8 "Jessie"
Code: Select all
Version 375.26 (via jessie-backports)
Code: Select all
# jessie-backports
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main contrib non-free
Code: Select all
# apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,')
Code: Select all
# apt-get update
# apt-get install -t jessie-backports nvidia-driver
Restart your system to enable the nouveau blacklist.
Everything went fine without a hitch even installed compiz-fusion
Do I need to remove the jessie-backport before I do any updates?
Also why am I having to install drivers from the backports when I'm running 'stable'
Thanks in advance Ant
