Could someone please tell me which version is used as there are several versions on the nividia website for different s of nvidia cards. Mine is the Vanta card and NVChooser.sh says I need version 4192.

BTW, I have the Vanta card on my home PC. At school I have the intel video onboard 810 series. How do I get graphics acceleration for these motherboard graphics chips? My students really deserve a day off (right before turkey day?) and I would like to give them a bzflag LAN party....

TIA,
Don't worry about the exact driver now. Just try this one and see if it works for your card.
1. Download the script: wget http://debian.tu-bs.de/knoppix/live/nvidia-live.sh and save it in your home directory. Stay connected to internet during all steps.
2. Open the console and su to root.
3. cd /"home directory"
4. Make it executable: chmod +x nvidia-live.sh
5. Run it: ./nvidia-live.sh
6. You will then get a second script "nvidia-installer.sh" (not sure of name).
7. chmod +x nvidia-installer.sh (or whatever the actual name of the second script is)
8. ctrl-alt-F2 to close X
9. log back in at prompt.
10. su to root
11. Run second script: ./nvidia-installer.sh (again not sure about name)
12. If I remember correctly, that is it. When your computer reboots, you will have 3D acceleration.
