Does anyone know why the nvidia drivers do not recognize vid card xfx Geforce 8800 GTX when you are intalling driver 169.12.4 amd64 on Debian Etch amd64? If there is a solution to this can any of you post it so that i can use on my Debian Etch amd64 PC...

Thanks,

Why are you using that version -- it is 2 versions old. Use the 64-bit tarball for 173.14.09:

First, make sure you have your kernel headers and build-essential stuff:

(as root)

apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential

Then untar your downloaded driver and follow the installation instructions.
