The Debian Wiki seems straightforward. I checked several times, and again, my GeForce GT 610 (aka GF119) is indeed listed here.
I am, however, somewhat puzzled by the sentense
> … if means to disable the integrated graphics in hardware are not available.
in which some words may have fallen off, and also by
>DKMS will build the nvidia module for your system, via the nvidia-legacy-390xx-kernel-dkms package.
I would normaly not care that much, but given the previous failures I'm trying to be as thorough as I can be. So, I tried and searched and looked up and queried for the `nvidia-legacy-390xx-kernel-dkms` package. The repository points to `nvidia.com`, which does not seem to know much about that. The rest of the internet is equally terse, so I wonder : is this package *real*, I mean, maintained, understood, tested … ?
It might be relevant to specify the following :
− the desktop environment is XFCE4
− the display manager is LightDM
and maybe also

The same rig worked fine under Ubuntu until I switched to plain Debian a couple of months ago. The only reason why I would like to get this driver working is that EU4 is quite sluggish without it, sluggish as in "litterally unplayable" (no, really .
So, to sum up this novella : the procedure in the wiki doesn't work, what should I so now ?
