Proprietary NVidia driver

Nvidia hadrware accelerated driver installation is basically the same on every Linux with NVidia card. Here you can find a gentoo guide: [1]

Quick summary:

First, you need a kernel module. On Debian, you can install it using module-assistant, type

m-a a-i nvidia

Make sure you have the module loaded, when you run X.

Second, get the latest X driver from NVidia. The page is [2]. It will install the driver. Then, you have just to tweak X config to use module "nvidia" in place you've used module "nv".

Linux kernel Framebuffer driver

Works, but could cause conflicts with propertiary drivers in some situations.
