Hey guys, I've just installed Debian 6 amd64 Stable on my desktop running an Nvidia Quadro NVS 290 graphics card. So far, I've had experience with Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop (with an NVidia 7150M chip), and it's been working fine and nice, so I thought I'd give Debian a try (I'm thinking of migrating my server to Debian )
Anyways, after fighting with the system to install the official Nvidia drivers, I got them on (some conflict with the Nouveau drivers was preventing me to install in X, so I learned about Ctrl-Alt-F1 ) Got that out of the way, drivers installed.
During driver installation, it gave me some warning about the version of gcc being incompatible (I checked and it's version 4.4.5). Installation finished and I rebooted.
Now the X configuration is messed up with the only resolutions available being 320x240 and 640x480.
I tried manually configuring the Xorg.conf file but either a) I don't know how or b) whatever I'm doing is not working.
I also tried running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and it does nothing.
I'm running out of ideas, and having linux run at VGA resolutions on a 24in widescreen monitor with native resolution 1920x1080 is quite painful.
Can anybody help me configure my install?
