Add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free You probably also want to create /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50-default-release with the following contents: Apt { Default-Release "testing"; }; If your /etc/apt/sources.list has "jessie" lines instead of testing, use jessie instead. This will make sure you install packages from testing/jessie by default and only install packages from other archives (unstable) when you explicitly say so. To install the nvidia package from unstable, do the following: aptitude install nvidia-driver -t unstable This should pull in that package from unstable including it's dependencies. If it reports dependency issues, let aptitude offer you other suggestions until the issues are resolved. Another useful parameter for aptitude is "-s" which stands for simulate, so you can experiment as much as you want (also as normal user) without actually committing the changes. To install the driver from experimental, add another line to your sources, but use experimental instead of unstable and to install use '-t experimental' instead of '-t unstable'. > > And try a minimal config file as decribed in > > /usr/share/doc/nvidia-driver/README.Debian.gz > > I tried to use nvidia-xconfig with the same result of this black blank > screen. The xorg.conf is attached. That's not a minimal config file ;-) This is: ------------------------------------------------------------ Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" EndSection ------------------------------------------------------------ So remove all the other lines, so your xorg.conf only contains the part above.
