Using etch and a manual nvidia install (8762) all seems working except that things aren't as quick as expected for a GeForce 7600 and an AMD MP processor.

thankyou for this post...
this is needed for alot apps. And helped me with playonlinux

Under debian 5.0.5 and most deb distro's
to install

Code:

#su
#password
#apt-get install mesa-utils

check to see if you have direct rendering

Code:

#glxinfo | grep rendering
direct rendering: Yes

To show glxgears animation. And show you alot of info about the graphics driver(renderer,version,vendor and extensions.) Plus at the end, it'll show you the frames in 5.0seconds.

Code:

#glxgears -info
GL_RENDERER   = GeForce 9800 GTX/9800 GTX+/PCI/SSE2
GL_VERSION    = 3.3.0 NVIDIA 256.35
GL_VENDOR     = NVIDIA Corporation
GL_EXTENSIONS = GL_ARB_blend_func_extended
91585 frames in 5.0 seconds = 18316.934 FPS
91315 frames in 5.0 seconds = 18262.986 FPS
