I have problems with my nvidia. I open xorg.conf but it is very little.

xorg.conf (X.Org 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 xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man 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

Re: nvidia

You could try from a terminal "sudo nvidia-xconfig" this rewrote my xorg.conf

Re: nvidia

Yep.

If you were using Hardy Heron, then you could:

1. Install envyng-core

2. Use EnvyNG to install the Nvidia driver, with:

sudo envyng -t

However, if you have installed Intrepid, 8.10, then that won't work because EnvyNG has not been updated. Probably you can open KMenu>System>Hardware Drivers and highlight the "177" driver and click "enable". Take your time, and be patient. On my system, it wasn't until about the third try that it actually downloaded and installed the driver, but eventually it worked correctly.

3. Issue the command as caryb wrote:

sudo nvidia-xconfig

This will write a new xorg.conf file for you. Since we're in the "Intrepid" section, you may need to be aware of this:

Re: nvidia

I've tried both methods to install the nvidia driver. I have a 8800GT XXX Alpha Dog Edition and the results were not successful. Using the native method gave me a 800 x 600 resolution and I was unable to changed it. Trying the nvidia driver from their website gave a Xen kernel error and the installation didn't went further so I will stick with my KDE 3 for now... :P
