Hi. I've been working with a stable Debian for a few years now (three major releases), with backports depots for a few tools I use regularly. I need a proprietary Nvidia driver for essentially two things : Steam, because I'm a Civ V gamer, and BOINC, because my computer is up 24h/day.
There was a backport update of the nvidia drivers a few weeks ago, I tried to migrate. But then Steam wouldn't work anymore (32bits libglx, or something like this, complaint). I ended up breaking everything trying to get back to stable. I finally was able to recover in console, erasing one by one the backports packages (they cooperate to not let them be deinstalled, those little bastards !!!) Now, I have the stable nvidia kernel driver (375.82), but I've noticed some BOINC apps complaining about not finding a GPU (Seti@Home, for sure, and I haven't seen Primegrid works for a while...). Djezus, I HAVE a GPU, it cost me enough (950, not the best one, but the most powerful I was able to "sell" to my wife :-) I don't know exactly what to do, if anyone could provide me with a checklist of what to install to be able to make Steam AND BOINC work with ANY Nvidia driver version, I would be so grateful... Thanks for any help. \bye -- Nicolas FRANCOIS | /\ http://nicolas.francois.free.fr | |__| X--/\\ We are the Micro$oft. _\_V Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated. darthvader penguin
