I loadaded nvidia form an alternative source, because wiki not yet updated, lame excuse.
Probem is that it is not compatible with Debian version.
I need help to uninstall this installation and install nvidia-driver from repo.
apt install --reinstall nvidia-driver
ckosloff@crosshair:~$ su -

root@crosshair:~# apr intall --reinstall nvidia-driver
-bash: apr: command not found
root@crosshair:~# apt install --reinstall nvidia-driver
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
root@crosshair:~# dpkg --congfigure -a
dpkg: error: unknown option --congfigure
Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*];
Use 'apt' or 'aptitude' for user-friendly package management;
Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;
Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;
Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through 'less' or 'more' !

Welcome to the NVIDIA Software Installer for Unix/Linux
Detected 8 CPUs online; setting concurrency level to 8.
If you plan to no longer use the NVIDIA driver, you should make sure that no X
screens are configured to use the NVIDIA X driver in your X configuration file.
If you used nvidia-xconfig to configure X, it may have created a backup of your
original configuration. Would you like to run `nvidia-xconfig
--restore-original-backup` to attempt restoration of the original X
configuration file?
