The file I read belonges to the package "nvidia-kernel-source", you find it in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-source. Please allow me to add the related content: nvidia-graphics-drivers (177.80-1) unstable; urgency=low LEGACY GPUs: If you have a GeForce FX (any model), GeForce PCX (any model), Quadro FX 330/500/600/700/Go700/1000/Go1000/1100/1300/2000/3000, Quadro NVS 280 PCI, Quadro NVS 280 PCI-E, i.e., any GPU based on the NV30/NV31/NV34/NV35/NV36/NV37/NV38 chips or a variant thereof, DO NOT INSTALL THIS RELEASE!!! Use the nvidia-glx-legacy-173xx, nvidia-glx-legacy-173xx-dev, nvidia-kernel-legacy-173xx-source packages instead. And additionally my output of lspci: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV36.1 [GeForce FX 5700 Ultra] (rev a1) It is NV36.1, and (moah, shame on me!!!) , I just see, it is not GF7300, but GF 5700!!! > > > Now I am really confused! > I AM confused! > So it seems! > > Your card is not "legacy", nvidia legacy cards are those of < GeForce > 6xxx series :-) > ....and it is legacy, sigh! So I really need the legacy drivers, which cannot be build as I described in my very first post. > Greetings, With great shame Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
