Great! Sadly I can't get anything installed, I'm lost in version hell (there seems to be a lot of that going on in unstable right now, I'm having the same problem with kernel stuff). nvidia-glx-ia32 nvidia-glx-ia32: Depends: nvidia-kernel-190.53 but it is not installable E: Broken packages nvidia-kernel-190.53: Package nvidia-kernel-190.53 is not available, but is referred to by another package. then I tried legacy : The following packages have unmet dependencies: nvidia-glx-legacy-173xx-ia32: Depends: nvidia-kernel-legacy-173xx-173.14.25 but it is not installable That's what happens when you live on the edge ;-) THings may right themselves w.r.t to 190.53 and then I can try again. I'd certainly rather try and get 190.53 installed than spend energy on the current version, since it's now labelled legacy. 190.53 is pretty close to the current nvidia driver. meanwhile I've learned most excellenc apt* tricks for package searching.
