OK... So I'm setting up my new rig. I'm running Debian Squeeze and I purchased a ASUS ENGT430 This video card uses an NVIDIA 430 chip. So the install goes well, but I'm left with a 800x600 display. Yuck. To fix here's what I did:
1. From NVIDIA's web site download the NVIDIA drivers for the Gforce 430 for Linux x64
2. Boot the OS into recovery mode
3. Log on as root
4. Go to the download location and change the downloaded run file permission to allow execute.
5. Run the install.
6. I received a message that the driver was compiled with GCC 4.3. I have GCC 4.4. I ignored the message and proceeded.
7. Installation completed successfully.
8. Rebooted
All is well....
