Hi. I find 64studio nice at this time, but there is something i can't fix: i tried installing the nvidia-glx package from the CD and it conflicts with xorg?!?! Synaptic removes xorg and finally i find myself without a graphical environment. It's not so important to have a 3d acceleration, but i'd like to have it :) I don't have an internet connection now and i was glad that the installation cd has nvidia-glx. Is there a way to repair the package and install it using dpkg? Sorry for my poor english :)

Daniel, There is some excellent information here concerning the nvidia setup - would it be worthwhile writing this up as a step-by-step FAQ answer? steve~

I finally ended up re-installing my system 3 times over, but I figured it out. Download the NVIDIA driver from the NVIDIA site. Kill Gnome (you need to do this to get the installer working) run the installer from the command-line When asked if Xorg.conf should be updated, answer 'no'. Somehow it screws up your Xorg configuration file preventing X11 to startup. So you have to make Xorg reconfigure itself (as root): dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg You may have to manualy select the NVIDIA driver when asked. Restart your system and your done!

Try downloading the install script at:- http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_100.14.09.html Make sure you have the linux-headers for your version and run the script in single user mode. Regards, Bob.

I think the driver is incorrect for AMD64... go to the nvidia site and get the latest AMD64 one. Otherwise, install 1.4.0, and use the new nvidia kernel modules Free has prepared for us.

Nvidia drivers is ok with 64 studio 1.4.0 ...

My method ....for Installing Nvidia ... sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvclock-gtk nvidia-settings nvidia-xconfig nvidia-kernel-common sudo apt-get install nvidia-kernel-******** your used kernel sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg with dpkg you can enable nvidia drivers and check your options ....or use : nvidia-glx-config enable crtl+alt+backsup (<--) for restart gnome You can install Compiz too ;) sudo apt-get install compiz gconf-editor With gconf-editor you can edit your compiz configuration. you can run nvidia-settings in shell for configure your nvidia card... for exemple my /etc/X11/xorg.conf for nvidia and compiz. sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf or sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf # /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file) # # This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using # values from the debconf database. # # Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page. # (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.) # # This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only* # if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg # package. # # If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated # again, run the following command: # sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg Section "Files" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi" # path to defoma fonts FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType" EndSection Section "Module" Load "bitmap" Load "dbe" Load "ddc" Load "dri" Load "GLcore" Load "extmod" Load "freetype" Load "glx" Load "int10" Load "vbe" EndSection Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "enable" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "fr" Option "XkbVariant" "latin9" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad" Driver "synaptics" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "nVidia Corporation NV36 [GeForce FX Go5700]" Driver "nvidia" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true" Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true" Option "TripleBuffer" "true" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Écran générique" Option "DPMS" HorizSync 28-75 VertRefresh 43-75 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "nVidia Corporation NV36 [GeForce FX Go5700]" Monitor "Écran générique" Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 1 Modes "1280x800" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 4 Modes "1280x800" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1280x800" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 15 Modes "1280x800" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1280x800" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x800" EndSubSection EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Default Screen" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad" EndSection Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection
