Hello everyone, today I will explain in 4 simple steps how to install the proprietary Nvidia driver under debian.
Before you start make sure you have enabled the non-free repository, checking in / etc / apt / sources.list This is a line like this (or wheezy squeeze depending on the system)
deb http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free.
Now enter a text console (Ctrl + Alt + F1), log in as root and kill the X server Do this with:
# invoke-rc.d gdm stop (which can also be gdm or kdm gdm3 depending on your desktop manager).
now install the driver packages for your video card and the kernel headers with this command:
# apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-settings linux-headers-`uname-r`
addition will also install the dependencies of the packages before.
As a last step you go to edit the xorg.conf file or create it in this so if there is in / etc/X11 /
# Xorg-configure and then
~ # mv / xorg.conf.new / etc/X11/xorg.conf
Now that you have your configuration files you just have to change that with your text editor, replacing the name of the driver in this way:
Section "Device"
...
Driver "nvidia"
...
EndSection Hope this help all those who, like me, have decided to migrate to 'Mom' Debian.
