As a follow-up I found this page at NVidia: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
The device is listed in the second group - driver-1.0-96xx driver. Is |
| 26 |
that by any chance the same as the "nvidia-drivers-96.43.xx" package? |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
If so how do I determine what kernel and xorg-server that will work with? |
