Re: GDM & LCD monitor

I'm not sure about debian sarge, but I know that debian sid has the
nvidia drivers in the repository almost ready to install (you have to
compile the kernel modules)

it's a fairly simple process though (IMHO easier then the nvidia site's
dirrections)

the directions should be in
/usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-source/README.Debian
after installing (you'll want nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel-source)
