Wheezy NVidia driver for card GT 750M
Dear, I just installed Wheezy 7.4 on a notebook with Nvidia video card GeForce GT 750M. I searched the site: https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers And from what I've seen, the list of devices supported by the version 304.88: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/304.88/README/supportedchips.html does not include the GT 750M model Another option is to use the Nvidia proprietary installer available at: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/72249/en-us Version: 331.38 Release Date: 01/13/2014 Operating System: Linux 32-bit Is there a newer Debian package that includes the GT 750M card? How to find? Thanks for any tip. Markos -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Wheezy NVidia driver for card GT 750M
Wiki page is a bit old. NVIDIA drivers requires binary kernel module. You have two options to install this module: 1. Upgrade your kernel to backported version and use precompiled NVIDIA binary kernel module: To do this first install new kernel with: apt-get install -t wheezy-backports linux-image-$(dpkg --print-architecture) Reboot your machine with new kernel and install nvidia-driver with: apt-get install -t wheezy-backports nvidia-driver nvidia-kernel-$(uname -r) 2. You can compile binary kernel module If you don't want to upgrade your kernel to backported version you need to compile nvidia-kernel driver for your current kernel. You need linux-headers for this: Install linux-headers with: apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) And install nvidia drivers with: apt-get install -t wheezy-backports nvidia-driver nvidia-kernel-dkms I assumed you added backports to your sources.list On Thu, Feb 13, 2014 at 15:54:59 -0200, Markos wrote: Dear, Thanks for the tip about backports.
