Just changing nv to nvidia doesn't help. Look at nvidia-xconfig.
Doug.
This didn't work either. I ran it and re-started--it failed.
Current error message says
"Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module"
which lead me to the question about kernels...
Did some double checking. I'm running on 2.6.18-5-486. The
nvidia kernel module is the one for 2.6.18-4-486. Installing the
module for 5-486 will probably help...
...so dumb question. Running the AMD Duron (1.3), which is
better: the i486, the i686, or the k7 modules (and kernel)?
Again, thanx for your time.
Yea I don't know why the package is broken. I am guessing this package
gets neglected because it is non-free. Alot of people just run the
lastest driver from nvidia.com. I know it sucks to use non-debian
packages but the nvidia driver installs very easily. But every time
xorg or the kernel gets updated you will have to reinstall the nvidia
driver. Here is the driver for your card:

If you want to install it just read all the install instructions here:
