    problems with nvidia

    I have searched a lot but I have been unable to install properly my nVidia graphics card. Till now I have reached two objectives:
    - Use of "nv" driver at 1280x1024, perfect but no 3D acceleration
    - Use of "nvidia" driver from www.nvidia.com; but when KDM starts, after nVidia logo, it goes out. I have to reinstall EVERY boot the driver and "/etc/init.d/kdm start) manually; and resolutions is just 1280x960.

    I have tried the kanotix solution:
    * wget http://kanotix.com/files/install-nvidia-6629-debian.sh
    * chmod +x install-nvidia-6629-debian.sh
    * ./install-nvidia-6629-debian.sh
    with no results; and
    +++++++++++++++++
    su
    cd /usr/src
    wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kerne...-2.6.6.tar.bz2
    tar jxvf linux-2.6.6.tar.bz2
    rm -f linux
    ln -s linux-2.6.9 linux
    cp /boot/config-2.6.9 linux/.config
    cd linux/include
    ln -s asm-i386 asm

    cd ..
    make oldconfig
    patch -p1 <../knoppix-kernel.patch
    cd /usr/bin
    cd /usr/src
    make
    apt-get update
    apt-get install nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-kernel-source
    tar zxvf nvidia-kernel-source.tar.gz
    cd modules/nvidia-kernel
    debian/rules KSRC=/usr/src/linux-2.6.9 KVERS=2.6.9 kdist_image

    cd /usr/src/modules
    dpkg -i nvidia-kernel-2.6.6_1.0.5336-6_i386.deb
    apt-get install nvidia-glx

    but didn't work neither....
    I tried downloading a newer version of kernel (2.6.10) in order to avoid using rivafb and RamDisk, but didn't work neither....

    any hint or help?

    thanks

    For you limited resolution problem, have a look on GTF.
    You can with this tool have some specific modelines to add in your XF86Config-4 file, in the monitor section,

    Ex : gtf 1280 1024 70
    will give you 2 lines to allow a 1280x1024 resolution with 70hz
