Package: nvidia-kernel-source (195.36.31-6squeeze2) [non-free]

[ Source: nvidia-graphics-drivers  ]

NVIDIA binary kernel module source

This package provides the source for the NVIDIA Xorg binary kernel module needed by nvidia-glx in a form suitable for use by module-assistant or kernel-package. The NVIDIA binary drivers provide optimized hardware acceleration of OpenGL applications via a direct-rendering X Server for graphics cards using NVIDIA chip sets. AGP, PCIe, SLI, TV-out and flat panel displays are also supported.

PLEASE read /usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-source/README.Debian.gz for building information. If you want the kernel module to be automatically installed via DKMS, install nvidia-kernel-dkms instead.

This version only supports GeForce 6xxx and higher of the Geforce GPUs plus complimentary Quadros and nforce. Look at the legacy packages for older cards.

See /usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-source/README.txt.gz for a complete list of supported GPUs and PCI IDs.
