Bill, I managed to find old notes that reminded me when I was experimenting to install nvidia driver few years ago. I have notes that confirmed I was able to install nvidia driver for Dell D630 laptop. Successful for both DebianDog and UbuntuDog . Not an issue now on Dell D630.
The current PC involved has following specs:
Asus P5K-E Motherboard, E6750 CoreDuo@2.66GHz, 4GB RAM, GeForce 7900GS GPU card and SSD.
Re-starting from scratch.
StretchDog64-openbox_xfce-jwm-2017-10-10.iso
My old notes (StretchDog64) indicated I was able to install nvidia using following commands (on Dell D630). So, trying on this PC now.
Code: Select all
apt-get update
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
apt-get install linux-headers-4.9.0-7-amd64
apt-get install nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver
apt-get install nvidia-settings-legacy-340xx
Got errors installing headers. The 2 nvidia packages seems available. I guess I won't get too far before headers issue resolved (regardless Method A or B or v340 or v304 driver).
Code: Select all
