Bug#749264: No nvidia-driver working

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

> I don't know how to create an xorg.conf?

You maybe should have read the Debian Wiki before complaining and
filing invalid bug reports. It's all there, please have a look at [1].

Yes, and the automatic detection defaults to the open source nouveau
drivers which are shipped with X.Org which fail to load because you
also loaded the proprietary nvidia kernel module.

You explitcitly have to tell X.Org to use the proprietary nvidia
driver, that's all you need in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "nVidia proprietary driver"
    Driver         "nvidia"
EndSection

That's already enough to get X up and running with the proprietary
drivers. The rest can be configured using xrandr.

Can I assume the bug report to be invalid and close it?

Thanks,
Adrian
