New debian installation problems


Hi,

My DSL connections was finally activated and realised that I should upgrade my SUSE 9.0 OS to the Debian (unstable) for the easy installation (update - upgrade) of the packages through the network. When my installation finished I had the minimal system of 100MB so I downloaded aptitude and upgraded the system by downloading kde and updating the current packages (main packages), but I came up with the following problems:

1)Some times I get keyboard errors while I am typing (like something is wrong with mapping)

2)The kdm (my default login manager) does not start and the startx command doesn't wopk (because I haven't configured the X11 yet). I suspect that my NVIDIA's FX5200 modules are not activated.

Do you have any suggestions on how can I fix the keyboard problem and how can I configure X11 and load my FX5200 modules?

Thanks

Note: I searched for the topic but its really difficult to find (amongst the huge ammount of forums!!!). If you find a related topic just send me....

you'll need to download the drivers for your nvidia if you want you r card to work fully (otherwise no accelerated 3D graphics), these are available from http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux.html.

Follow the readme for installation, though all it amounts to is installing drivers then changing a line in your xf86config.

As for your keyboard problems I presume your using the wrong keyboard map, look in /etc/X11/XF86Config and edit line:

Code:
 Option "XkbLayout"   "en_US"  # or "es" or any other
changing "en_US" to "gr" (I think, since your greek you'll require a greek layout)
