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.
