Yes - but that's the original NVidia driver.
Up to now this works whenever i use it.

This time something with the headers is mixed up and does not work.
In kernel.txt you can see which packages are installed.

The first time i run NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.38.run i get the errors of make.log

I tried to correct this by a symbolic link:
linux-headers-3.12-1-common -> linux-headers-3.12-1-common-rt
Then i rerun the installer and get make2.log
I have no idea what's going wrong this time?
Nothings works. :-(

Yes - but how to find out?
I thought it would be easier to get a running NVida-driver first.

Hmmm - yes - but that will take really much time.
I will try to do this, it will take time to find a day with some hours ...

I posted somewhere at the beginning of the bug. It is 304.88-1+deb7u1
You mean i should install the backport driver on wheezy first?

I can try whatever can be done that don't need a half of a day.
