nvidia driver question
Hello I know this has probably been asked but, I really like debian I just am not fond of being way behind on certain apps. One is the nvidia driver, can one just download the nvidia drivers and install them instead of using the ancient ones on stable ? Also is there a way to use the ones out of say unstable or testing without completely modifying you current stable version ? I have read alot obout the Debian Way pro's and con's and am curious as to what and how. -- lostson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
