Do those binary drivers even support running under a 64bit OS? I
think I remember reading somewhere that they don't.
I could be wrong on this one.
Hope this helps,
I run nvidia graphics drivers on my AMD64 3200+, in both 64 bit and 32
bit sid, so they definitely work.
Here's what I do.
~apt-get install module-assistant nvidia-kernel-source
~m-a prepare (sudo or root)
~m-a a-i nvidia (sudo or root)
~dpkg -i /usr/src/nvidia-kernel-moduleXXXXX.deb (sudo or root)
~apt-get install nvidia-glx (sudo or root)
Restart X.
You may need the -legacy source and glx packages for older hardware.
HTH
Wackojacko
NB I use a custom compiled Kernel, but it shouldn't make any difference.
