You can go here, search and read: http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages *** Package: xserver-xorg (1:7.5+8+squeeze1) the X.Org X server This package depends on the full suite of the server and drivers for the X.Org X server. It does not provide the actual server itself. *** *** Package: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (1:0.0.15+git20100329+7858345-5) X.Org X server -- Nouveau display driver (experimental) This driver for the X.Org X server (see xserver-xorg for a further description) provides support for NVIDIA Riva, TNT, GeForce, and Quadro cards. Although the nouveau project aims to provide full 3D support it is not yet complete, and these packages do not include any 3D support. Users requiring 3D support should use the non-free "nvidia" driver. This package is built from the FreeDesktop.org xf86-video-nouveau driver. *** In brief, the former will install (by dependencies) the full Xorg server with all of the VGA drivers while the latter is just a set of FOSS drivers for nvidia cards.
