установка драйверов nvidia под Debian Etch

Installing Nvidia Drivers in Etch

там предлагается следующая конструёвина:

1. apt-get install module-assistant
   
2. Next you need an Unstable repository available. This is done by editing the /etc/apt/sources.list file and adding this on a new line, but without the quotes - "deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib"
3. apt-get update
4. m-a prepare
5. m-a auto-install nvidia
6. apt-get install nvidia-glx
   
7. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list again and remove that new line, or comment it with a # at the beginning of the line.
   
8. apt-get update

как показала практика, лазить в нестабильный репозиторий необязательно.
