NvidiaGraphicsDrivers
 

hi everyone,

i tried to install the nvidia graphics driver by following the instructions here http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers
but unfortunately my whole gui disappeared after restarting x

OS: Debian Squeeze (Stable)
GPU: nVidia GeForce GTX560Ti
Desktop Environment: XFCE4
x display manager: SLIM

everything is CLI at the moment :( i want Debian with XFCE4 and SLIM back

thanks in advance,
Pieter

Have you already checked the restart x and troubleshooting section?

Here are the steps to revert back:

Thanks!

You should be able to run through those instructions again (more carefully) without any ill effects. It can be a bit difficult to follow if you're just scrolling down, make sure you didn't miss something. Just start over - there's no reason for that card to not work in debian stable.

i actually never solved the problem but i'm running wheezy now and no problems there (at least not with the graphics driver ;)
