NVIDIA显卡驱动的安装──不懂的看过来

对于Debian系统来说安装nvidia的显卡驱动是比较方便的，因为Debian一经为你准备好了deb包，只要你选择与你的显卡型号和内核版本相对应的就可以了。
下面我来细致的说说如何安装：
首先要添加contrib和non-free的源如下
deb http://mirrors.163.com/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
deb-src http://mirrors.163.com/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
然后使用apt
#apt-get update
# apt-cache search nvidia

比如我的显卡是Geforce2 MX/MX400的显卡所以我选择nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx这个驱动
apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx nvidia-xconfig nvidia-settings
安装完毕后用
nvidia-xconfig命令自动设置xorg.conf文件重启X就ok了。
你还可以用aptitude这个升级工具，更直观，容易查找相应的驱动包名称。
目前Debian之提供，2.6.26内核的驱动，2.6.28版需要自己编译。

我就是这么装的，结果连X都启动不起来。放弃！

我的也是GF2MX400 32MB的显卡，但是用96xx驱动就不行，只能使用71xx的驱动，不过安装好了71xx，看文字时间长了还是感觉有点刺眼。
我用的是CRT显示器。

板载GF6150应安装那个驱动？？

我的AMD4800＋ NV8600GT
安装nvidia-kernel-2.6.26-1-amd64 - NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64
这个不行。输出是direct rendering: No

弄了好几天了 郁闷

我弄出来了。
先加上lenny的源，安装好linux-headers-2.6.26-1-amd64，然后下载nvidia的180.137的驱动程序脚本，一步步按提示安装就好了。

你需要安装nvidia-glx nvidia-xconfig nvidia-settings这三个包

从ubuntu转过来的，已经习惯手动更新驱动，其实很方便。安装开发包和内核headers就可以了。

感谢sungx 呵呵 装好了。

我的TNT2显卡，查找了debian软件包，在debian软件包网站上，新的lenny版本中已经没有legacy-71xx这个软件包了。

安装了hwinfo软件包，显卡的硬件信息是能显示出来

另外就是默认系统环境为简体中文安装后，gnome中可以正确显示中文。
但在控制台中无法显示中文，中文显示为方块，dpkg-reconfigure locales 也没有用。

我安装官方驱动方法(我的是unstalbe 2.6.30-1内核，GNOME桌面)
1 apt-get install linux-patch-debian-2.6.30 linux-source-2.6.30 linux-tree-2.6.30 linux-headers-2.6.30-1-686
应该只安装 linux-source 和 linux-headers就可以了。
2 如果已经安装了桌面并启动的，请关闭X
/etc/init.d/gdm stop
3 安装下载的官方驱动
./Download/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.51-pkg1.run
按照提示走就是了。
安装完之后可以选择直接让程序帮你运行nvidia-xconfig来生成你需要的xorg.conf，原来的（如果有）会备份成xorg.conf.backup。
然后重启X
/etc/init.d/gdm start
就可以了。
NVIDIA驱动启动的时候默认会有个logo，我不想让那个东西出现，可以修改xorg.conf：
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
Option "NoLogo" "true" #加入这一句（出自gentoo.org）
EndSection
就可以了。

太好了。安完驱动重启后。世界安静了。
显卡的风扇转速明显下降了。
以前一直全速转。
