The non-free-firmware section only contains firmware.  Not drivers.

If you need to build non-free drivers (e.g. nvidia) you'll need both
sections.


Thanks to David and Greg, I finally understood the difference between 
firmwares and drivers ...

Indeed adding the non-free section to my source.list was what I needed.
Sorry for the noise.

I believe that a proverb exists, with wording something like
"It is better to look a fool for the time that it takes to ask a 
question, than to look a fool forever, for not asking the question.".


If you did not ask, you would not have learned, and, your having asked, 
can mean that others can also learn what you have learned, from your 
having asked the question.


People should never have to apologise for asking to learn what they do 
not know.

You appear to be lacking non-free in your sources.list.

Thank you David, but I thought that non-free-firmware should be enough 
for the new testing repositories.
