That was my hope also - but i was really disappointed to land on the shell.

I believe that and thank you for your work!

There are really to many types of NVidia-cards out there.
Is there a way to easy find out which package must be installed for an NVidia card?

Here i can't find my card:
http://packages.debian.org/jessie/nvidia-legacy-173xx-driver


Here i can't find any hint what to do on jessie:
https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers
I would update this Wiki-page with the correct informations.

I will do this.
But after this i would try to install the correct NVida-package for a GT 400 if possible.
