Hello,

I have debian Sarge:

- Build Nvidia Drivers:
	http://packages.qa.debian.org/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers.html
	-> Download three source files and put them in /usr/src
	-> dpkg-source -x nvidia-graphics-drivers_....dsc
	-> cd nvidia-graphics-drivers-...
	-> ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg0.run -x
	-> debian/rules binary
	-> cd ..
	-> dpkg -i nvidia-kernel-source_....deb
	-> tar xfz /usr/src/nvidia-kernel-source.tar.gz
	-> cd modules/nvidia-kernel/
	-> KSRC=/path/to/kernel/sourcedir ./debian/rules binary_modules
	-> cd ../..
	-> dpkg -i debs
	-> See that the module nvidia get loaded.

- Build X.org:
	http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/x11/x.org/pub/X11R6.8.2/src-single/X11R6.8.2-src.tar.gz
	-> tar xfz X11R6.8.2-src.tar.gz
	-> cd xc
	-> cp config/cf/xorgsite.def config/cf/host.def
	-> vim config/cf/host.def ADD the following lines to the end:
#define ProjectRoot /usr/local/X11R6.8
#define NothingOutsideProjectRoot YES
#define HasFreetype2 YES
#define HasFontconfig YES
	-> make World
	-> Trink a coffee or two
	-> make install
	-> vim /etc/ld.so.conf and ADD /usr/local/X11R6.8/lib to the end.
	-> ldconfig
	-> Symlink /usr/X11R6/bin/X to /usr/local/X11R6.8/bin/X
	-> cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/xorg.conf
	-> EDIT /etc/X11/xorg.conf to include:
	- The right module path and the additional option
