Installing Debian GNU/Linux in a computer with the following configuration.
AMD Athlon X2 4000+ ASUS M2N-MX SE (2 SATA, 1 PATA, 8 USB, 2 PCI, 1 PCIe) 1GB DDR2 667 RAM 160 GB SEAGATE SATA HDD 17" Wide Samsung After the installation of Debian GNU/Linux I installed NVIDIA graphics driver for Linux. For installing the driver you need to install kernel headers. apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` Then login in one of the virtual terminals. Stop xserver. /etc/init.d/gdm stop Next install NVIDIA driver. ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run After that install the latest ALSA driver for getting the audio work. Download the driver from alsa-project.org. Alsa driver 1.0.16<ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.16.tar.bz2> extract the files to a directory. change to that directory (Eg: cd /home/sreenadh/MyDownloads/alsa-driver-1.0.16) ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install The add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base (nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base) options snd-hda-intel model=6stack-dig Now its ready to start the xserver. /etc/init.d/gdm start. Have a nice day. Regards Sreenadh H -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
