I just tried to install nvidia-driver as described here: https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsD ... ary_Driver
After installing nvidia-driver and rebooting, nvidia-settings says "You do not appear to be running the NVIDIA X driver." and asks me to run nvidia-xconfig. Funnily enough, nvidia-xconfig produces an unusable xorg.conf file. Furthermore, when I run modprobe nvidia I get the following output:
Code: Select all

modprobe: FATAL: Module nvidia-current not found in directory /lib/modules/4.9.0-3-amd64
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:979 command_do() Error running install command for nvidia
