As Andrei already posted, you need to define what driver to use. So, after installing "nv" package you have to add the following lines in /etc/ X11/xorg.conf *** Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "nv" EndSection *** And the restart. Once you login, look at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" file to check the NV driver is being loaded correctly. > before that i tried (after having used the newest nvidia-driver) it with > several older nvidia-drivers, startting with the 185 && grom their site. > no good results: my machine-screens keep freezing with a moving mouse > and anything else stuck completely. again: a hardware problem??? Hard to tell. Nvidia drivers were having some problems with KDE4 (2/3 years ago) when compositing was enabled but nowadays these erros should have gone. > yut i am not stuck myself. i hung my hanss-g cable on the onboard > intel-x4500 chip, loaded up xserver-xorg-video-intel and now everything > is working ok, but somewhat less sophisticated): i can go on keeping the > books of our business. > > please! some further suggestions?? Try to load "nv" driver and see what happens. Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Issue "lspci | grep VGA" and put here the output. If your nvidia card is indeed 9400 GT you can try the nvidia driver available within Debian repositories. I am using that with my old nvidia 7600 GS and have no problems at all. In fact, I've also got them installed for my Quadro NVS 440: *** sm01(a)stt008:~$ dpkg -l | grep nvidia ii nvidia-glx 173.14.09-5 NVIDIA binary Xorg driver ii nvidia-kernel-2.6.26-2-amd64 173.14.09+3+lenny1 NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.6.26 ii nvidia-kernel-common 20080825+1 NVIDIA binary kernel module common files *** I followed the steps provided at Debian wiki (pre-built modules): http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
