When i run nvidia-detect i get this output:

Your card is supported by the default drivers and version 304.
It is recommended to install the
nvidia-driver
package.
That's wrong!
Correct should be 319.76 and this is installed:
Why do you think this is wrong? What would you expect instead?
Andreas
Please read exact - current driver is 319.76 or not?
The purpose of nvidia-detect is not to tell you something about upstream
version numbers, ...
O.K. It's not a bug - it's a feature.
nvidia-detect cries for 304.
So how to install something that does not exist? ;-)
... but about Debian package names. And 'nvidia-driver' does exist.
That's what 'default drivers' is about.
The description says:
"The 'nvidia-detect' script in this package checks for an NVIDIA GPU in the system and recommends one of the non-free
accelerated driver meta-packages"
When the main function is "only" to recommend something, everything is perfect.
:-)
But you are right, we could mark the '304' more prominently as 'legacy'.
Fine. :-)
Close the bug.
Andreas
PS: Note to self: check that nvidia-detect in wheezy-backports outputs
something sane
Then i should update the wiki that this package exists.
It's really not clear how get NVidia running in Debian ...
