Installation of Graphic driver
|
|
|
| I have just installed Debian on an old PC (1000 MHZ 512 MB) but it cannot
start the graphic user interface due to at driver problem with the graphics
adapter, my graphic adapter is a Creative Geforce256. I could not find a
similar driver during installation and now the problem is there.
Is it possible in anyway to setup a correct driver from the console? and how
to?
or do I have install alle over and try with another driver?
I would be very happy if anyone could help me.

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
use 'vesa'
Choose your resolution and restart your X with either
/etc/init.d/gdm restart
or /etc/init.d/kdm restart
depending on your desktop manager
Once you get the system up and running you can install the nvidia
drivers.
