    Hello everybody


    After read and put on practice many tutorials on the web, i can't
    install nVidia driver for GeForce GT-540 video card.
    It is on toshiba p750 laptop, running Debian Buster.

    * First I installed "nvidia-detect" and it returns that I have to
    install the package "nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver".

    * Then I run "apt-get install nvidia-alternative
    nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver", after that I rebooted the laptop.

    * I run "update-glx --config nvidia", everything ok.


    The problem now is when I try to use "NVIDIA X Server Settings" the
    program show me a dialog box containing "You do not appear to be using
    the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit yout X configuration file (just run 'nvidia-xconfig' as root), and restart the X server"

    (*) I had some bad experiences with 'nvidia-xconfig', after that
    probably next boot time it will show a blank screen.

    * I was looking for "xorg.conf" in "/etc/X11" and realize that there
    is not present, so i used this solution:
    https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_xorg.conf


    Then I modified on /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

    Section "Device"
            Identifier  "Card1"
            Driver      "nvidia" =======================> it was "nouveau"
            BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
    EndSection

    nVidia Driver still doesn't working.


    thanks for your support.
