NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 4000 installation with debian/ubuntu
It is a bit tricky to understand the debian packages for the nvidia drivers. Here is how I got the card running!
Make sure that lspci returns:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 4000] (rev c1)If not, make sure my tutorial also applies to your card. First you have to install the legacy drivers and some build dependencies:
# apt-get install module-assistant gcc nvidia-kernel-common # m-a update # m-a prepare # m-a auto-install nvidia-kernel-legacy-XXxx
