I use the nvidia drivers also for my FX 5700LE. There is a pre built module for it in unstable and it seems to be working great here. What are you running there, i386/amd64 sarge/testing/unstable? Aside from the module (you may need to build it yourself depending on your arch etc) you need nvidia-common and nvidia-glx. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
