    GeForce 4 Debian support

    HI, I'm new to Debian, though not particularly new to Linux, but I have less experience with desktop stuff and X than with server stuff. I'm attepting to get nvidia 3d accelleration working on my box, so I can install winex. I downloaded the nvidia-gls and nvidia-kernel packages, and after upgrading my kernel (for other reasons), the kernel module copiles okay, and seems to load okay... and of course the GLX module is just some libs that get installed, so it seemed to go okay. Now, however I can't run glxinfo or glxgears.. I get a complaint about not being able to open a double buffered RGB something... (sorry I had to dual boot back to XP to do some work.. not ready to do everything from linux yet, though that is my goal)... my question is, should I attempt to install the debs here, or is there some other suggestion about fixing my problem. I'm at a bit of a loss as to how I can tell which piece is not working/not configured right... kernel driver, glx, or something in my XF86config...
