I followed the followingto set up my old graphics card in Debian 9 and chose 340.102 driver for my card because nvidia-detect gave the following:
Code: Select all
Detected NVIDIA GPUs:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation G94 [GeForce 9600 GT] [10de:0622] (rev a1)
Checking card: NVIDIA Corporation G94 [GeForce 9600 GT] (rev a1)
Your card is only supported up to the 340 legacy drivers series.
It is recommended to install the
nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver
package.
Code: Select all
$ sudo nvida-xconfig (to create my xorg.conf file)
Code: Select all
GNU nano 2.7.4 Fil: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
