Trouble? Contact > [email protected] > > Hello, I have a 260GTX on the newest nVidia drivers with the newest testing kernel and Xorg, worked fine for me, just needed new kernel headers after the kernel upgrade before i reran the nVidia installer. I use the nVidia installer btw due to the 19x.xxx drivers not being available in testing and I dont feel like mixing in sid. I realise its not the same gpu but as they both use the same closed source driver. Regards, Angus.
