The package with the free driver is called xserver-xorg-video-nv; it is available in Lenny/main in version 1:2.1.10-1. You should see it listed if you run: apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-nv If this package is not available to you then something is wrong with your mirror. If you have the package installed you can run grep /drivers/ /var/log/Xorg.0.log after you start Xorg to find out which driver was loaded. For the nv driver you should see this output: (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nv_drv.so > Could someone please, tell me how could i connect my laptop to tv > appropiatelly? This should work via xrandr now; see the Debian wiki for more info: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
