Bug#880564: nvidia-driver: Hello i am using Debian Wheezy ;

[Richard Kuenz]

Thank you ,

i did try to install according to Official Debian Wiki for NvidiaGraphics,

it points to

Nvidia-Driver in English and Italian Version of Wiki for 304.+


Should i just replace Nvidia-Driver with Nvidia-Glfx?
